Charting the final stage of the dog's global conquest, Aryee ventures out of the Americas into Asia and Africa, following the canine's centuries-long journey across continents. From red foxes performing great leaps to catch mice deep beneath the snow to bizarre raccoon dogs that steal eggs from birds' nests - this is a story of canine cunning. In Africa, dogs would team up to take on the Big Cats and become the most successful large predators on the savannah. Then, on Namibia's Skeleton Coast, an extraordinary encounter between a Jackal and a huge brown hyena shows how canines used brain over brawn.
