Focusing on New York London, and Paris from the early nineteenth century to the 1930S, Dogopolis boldly and convincingly asserts that human-canine relations were a crucial factor in the formation of modern urban living. As dogs became more and more common in middle-class life, cities had to respond to people's tear of them and revulsion at their least desirable traits, such as dirt, crime, and vagrancy. At the same time, human compassion and affection for pets and strays were equally powerful forces in shaping urban modernity. Dogopolis details the complex ways we manifest our feelings toward what we love, showing how they eon palpably reshape society. Book jacket.
