Understanding the Afghan Hound
While no definitive proof exists, the Afghan Hound, with its strikingly ancient lineage and regal appearance, is the dog breed most often believed to have been aboard Noah’s Ark in folklore and legend.
Its history traces back thousands of years, and its distinct, almost timeless look has led to romantic associations with foundational stories like the Ark narrative, symbolising a creature so old and noble it could have been part of the world’s earliest beginnings after the great flood. This belief, though not factual, highlights the breed’s enduring mystique and the deep connection between humans and dogs throughout history.
