520 2  "Animals have played a vital role in shaping the city of 
       Seattle from its founding amid existing indigenous towns 
       in the mid-nineteenth century to the livestock-friendly 
       town of the late nineteenth century to the pet-friendly, 
       livestock-averse modern city. When newcomers first arrived
       in the 1850s, they hastened to assemble the familiar 
       cohort of cattle, horses, pigs, chickens, and other 
       animals that defined European agriculture. This, in turn, 
       contributed to the dispossession of the Native residents 
       of the area. However, just as these animals were used to 
       create a Euro-American city, the elimination of these same
       animals from Seattle was key to the creation of the new 
       middle-class neighborhoods of the twentieth century. As 
       dogs and cats came to symbolize home and family, 
       Seattleites' relationship with livestock became distant 
       and exploitative, demonstrating the deep social 
       contradictions that characterize the modern American 
       metropolis. Throughout Seattle's history, people have 
       sorted animals into categories and into places as a way of
       asserting power over animals, other people, and property. 
       In this book, Frederick Brown explores the dynamic, 
       troubled relationship humans have with animals. In so 
       doing he challenges us to acknowledge the role of animals 
       of all sorts in the making and remaking of cities"--
