Its domestication would have been impossible without the dog - a descendent of the wolf. The sheepdog's role, as a tamed hunter, is a tale that holds a few surprises. But how far should we go in manipulating animals that serve us so well?

Satyajit Ray has been regarded as one of the masters of world cinema ever since his very first film Pather
Panchali astounded the jury of the Cannes Film Festival in 1956. In India, however, his films are virtually unknown outside his home state of Bengal. Ray still lives in its capital, Calcutta, the setting for his first feature for five years, An Enemy of the People, currently in the London Film Festival. He spoke there to Omnibus about a distinguished life in cinema. Film editor DAVID KITSON Producer ADAM LOW
