Description
Fifteen thousand years ago, wolves stepped out of the forest and began one of the most remarkable journeys in evolutionary history. Within only a few hundred years, these wolves changed from deadly predators into man's best friend. How did it happen? And where will it end? This two-part mini-series explores the origins of dogs, their place in our history, and our place in theirs.
