"Moses, skilled in all the learning of Egypt, writing more than 2000 years B. C., mentions the watchdogs of the Egyptians, stating (Exodus xi. 7.) "not a dog should move his tongue against man or beast of the children of Israel," neither the wolf nor jackal bark, therefore this is manifest reference to the domestic dog, and Job xxx, c. i, v. mentions "the dogs of his flock," proving at what an early date the shepherd made use of the animal." M. B. Winn, History of the Mastiff; pg. 6-7 On history of the dog in relationship to the wolf. cheers,
