First Dog on Earth Irv Weinberg

At the dawn of civilization, a wolf dog befriends an old hunter and revives his alpha powers among his human tribe. Together with the animal's pack, they discover a new way of life-a shared odyssey of survival and trust that grows into the most successful partnership the Earth has ever known, changing dogs and humans forever.




The pack led by Oohma encounters the first humans they have ever seen-Ish the old hunter, Lut the gifted young medicine woman and Hun the brutal tribe leader whose jealousy forces him out of the tribe.




This is the poetic story of how civilization progresses all because of the abilities the dogs bring the tribe. Set against the ancient Chauvet Cave in France with its remarkable cave art and the footprints of a small boy and his dog as they walk together side by side as companions not prey.

How does the greatest love story in history begin? With a leap into the unknown, as told in First Dog on Earth.
