First of a three-part documentary series in which
Desmond Morris explores how the most docile of our domestic pets is a wild animal at heart.
The Wolfin Your Living Room Why does your dog bolt its food, fetch sticks, cock its leg, lick your face or go round in circles? By looking at the domestic dog's wild cousins - from wolves to jackals - many of the puzzling things our pets do become clear. For instance, by licking your face, your dog may be asking you to regurgitate your last meal for him. ProducerMike Beynon
