Dog FigurinesSome theories hold that wolves were attracted to the refuse and food storage that existed where man did. Those wolves less afraid of man, eventually ate with him, came to depend on them for companionship, and bred with others of like temperament, eventually resulting in the domesticated dog. One of the oldest identifiable breeds is the Basenji, who like the wolf, does not bark, but makes other vocalizations including snarls. It also breeds only once a year, as does the wolf, where domestic dogs will breed twice a year. The Basenji is shown in tomb paintings from 3000B.C. in Egypt. Other breeds developed in very interesting ways. The St. Bernard, is truly a dog of the mountains, although the legend of the barrel of liquor around its neck is just that- a story carried back from the snowy peaks by travelers with more imagination (and perhaps alcoholic spirit) than truth. A monastery was founded high in the Swiss Alps above the St. Bernard Pass, around 1050A.D. Until around 1125, travelers who went back and forth through the Pass, would bring their dogs and leave them. When the Pass fell out of use, the monastery was virtually shut off from the rest of the world for the next four hundred years, ensuring that the breed of dog that emerged at the end of that period, was undiluted. The dogs are first mentioned in records of the monastery Prior in 1703, when it mentions a type of wheel had been invented for the dog to run on, which would also turn the spit in the kitchen. Even then, the dogs were recorded as being large, and white with reddish-brown spots. Domestic dogs filled many roles over the next centuries. They were bred and trained to guard both man and animals, to hunt for food, attack predators of their master’s flocks, and simply as companions. Dogs became testing grounds for drug and other medical experiments, they were shot into space, and used in psychological experiments by Pavlov. More recently, both mixed breeds and purebred dogs have been trained to replace what man has lost, including their sight and mobility. Some dogs are even trained to sense when their owners are about to have epileptic seizures. For the most part, dogs are companion animals, a role for which they earned the well-deserved title of man’s best friend. Dog figurines dating back hundreds of years, are proof that even then, they were valued enough to devote the hours it took to carve their images in wood and stone. In Victorian days, it was a common site to see two upright dogs, one to either side of a fireplace, guarding hearth and home, even though they were plaster replicas. The realism that is brought out in the incredibly detailed dog figurines representing such breeds as the Labrador, Golden Retriever, Boxers, and Spaniels, is a tribute not only to the artisan’s skill, but to the love that exists between man and dog.
