A Man Finds a Friend

The cat and the dog. The only representatives of the animal world that have become true friends of man. There is no beast in the world that has devoted its entire life to man as the dog has, and there is no beast that has managed to subdue man as the cat has. The selfless, infinitely loyal dog and the cunning, capricious cat – different as day and night. What determines their behavior? How can we explain the concept of instinct? Konrad Lorenz provides answers to these and many other questions in his book, which has captivated readers of all ages in many different countries for decades.
