"The Muge Dog – a prehistoric friend” is a digital animation that tells the story of a dog who is around 7,600 years old. Its skeleton was found by archaeologists at the end of the 19th century in Muge, Portugal, and has recently been the subject of a detailed study using the most advanced technologies available: radiocarbon dating, isotope analysis, genomics and imagiology, which allowed the interpretation of the dog’s life and death.
