Book Synopsis
Dogopolis suggests a surprising source of urban innovation in the history of three major cities: human-canine relationships.

Trade Review
"Dogopolis is a beautifully presented book with an evocative historical voice and great confidence and flair. It is also a lot of fun to read. Pearson offers a treasure trove of details about the shared lives of humans and dogs across three rapidly urbanizing cities that epitomized urban modernity, and deals with themes at the heart of urban history in his examination of the public and private spaces; class, gender, and race relationships; and public health and disease."-- "Neil Pemberton, Manchester University"
