DOGS IN MOTION, Prof. Dr. Martin S. Fischer, KYON Symposium 2017

Marting S. Fisher from Jena University in Germany has presented the results of the most extensive study worldwide concerning the motion of dogs and demonstrated precise insights into their course of movement for the first time. Prof. Fisher s book Dogs in Motion explores the locomotion of dogs in a highly scientific yet easily accessible manner. An innovative illustrative style brings the dog anatomy to life and makes clear the way in which the skeleton, the muscles, and locomotion fit together. Based on the results of the largestscale study on the subject ever carried out, an experiment that involved over 300 dogs and 32 different breeds, the book delivers completely new insights into the motion sequences performed by dogs. The accompanying DVD (without soundfiles) features over 400 movies, XRay movies and 3D animations and demonstrates both the variety and uniformity of dog locomotion with unparalleled precision and clarity.
