Abstract

In the study of the anatomy of the vertebrates, there has been much work done and a large number of the forms have been studied with great thoroughness. Among the domesticated animals this is particularly true. The students of the veterinary sciences have given us a deep insight into the structure and function of the mammalian body. This is most certainly true in the case of the dog. The species Canis familiaris has been used for many years in the studies of physiology and surgery. However, it is also true that a plenitude of literature relative to the anatomy of the dog is not available. Until 1912, there was no book on the anatomy of the dog in English. In that year, was published A Guide to the Dissection of the Dog by O. Charnock Bradley. This was the first book in the English language devoted exclusively to canine anatomy. Before that time there were many veterinary anatomies, but these books took the horse as the animal of discussion and variations which occurred in the dog were mentioned in summaries at the ends of the various chapters.
