This book is intended to give many people a renewed sense of how we humans have been greatly influenced by dogs, and to understand the current situation and the causes of the decrease in the number of dogs in Japan. It is intended to give people an idea of what kind of happiness is for dogs and what kind of things humans can do for dogs and ourselves. (From "Introduction") / It is said that the relationship between humans and dogs has been over 20,000 years, and we have spent more time together with dogs than any other animal such as cats, horses, and cows. / As an important partner, as a friend and a family who can forgive us, dogs have built bonds with humans in various ways, and are about to disappear from us in the not-too-distant future. / And many people are not aware of that fact yet. / Some may think that it is an exaggerated story. / However, the countdown to "the day when there are no dogs in Japan" has already begun. / As a researcher of "Relationship between Humans and Animals", I have been looking at dogs and the relationship between humans and dogs for a long time. As a researcher of "Relationship between Humans and Animals", I have been looking at the current critical situation of the decrease in the number of dogs in Japan, and I have also thought about "the happiness of dogs" and "the happiness of people who are with dogs". / This book reexamines what is important to continue the rich coexistence with dogs that has been built over many years.
