Vanhu vekuMiddle East vakave nemafungiro akasiyana-siyana kune imbwa, kubva pakutya kuzere kusvika kune rudo rukuru kupfuura rwainzwiwa kumhuri neshamwari.
Makore zviuru makumi matatu nezvitatu apfuura uye kuverenga ndiyo yazvino, fungidziro inogoneka yekuti imbwa dzave nenguva yakareba sei shamwari dzevanhu. Mabviro avo zvakare ane nharo - Far East? Middle East? Zvine basa here?
Vanhu vekuMiddle East vakave nemafungiro akasiyana-siyana kune imbwa, kubva pakutya kuzere kusvika kune rudo rukuru kupfuura rwainzwiwa kumhuri neshamwari. Kutya kunonzwisisika. Mazino embwa chombo chine utsinye uye pakanga pasina mushonga wechimbwamupengo kusvika mukupera kwezana ramakore rechi 19.
Imwe yemarudzi ekare zvikurusa muMiddle East ndeiya ye<em>saluki, rudzi rwehando inovhima nokuona mhuka yayo yobva yadzingirira pasi. MaBedouin kwemazana emakore akakoshesa saluki, achiiona seyakachena uye kunyange kuibvumira kugara mumatende avo dzimwe imbwa dzaisabatanidzwa. MaIran vaiiona sembwa yehumambo. Mifananidzo yemasalukis inogona kuwanikwa mumakuva eEgipita uye gare gare zvikuru mumanyoro ePersia neOttoman. Rudzi rwechipiri ndiro basenji iyo yakabva kuCentral African imbwa. Ivo zvakare vakafananidzirwa mumakuva evanafarao.
MaPezhiya ekare anoita sekunge vakatora Saluki asi vakapfuya imbwa huru, ine mastiff yaishandiswa mumapurazi uye mukufudza makwai.
Anatolia zvakare aive uye ari kumusha kune yakakurumbira Kangal imbwa, zvakare mastiff kunyange yakati diki uye yakareruka kupfuura mamwe mastiffs. Yaichengetwa uye inochengetwa sembwa inorinda yaizorinda makwai uyezve dzimba dzevanhu. Iyo Kangal inotaurwa mu17th yezana remakore rekufamba munyori Evliya Çelebi basa.
MaGiriki ekare aive nemhando dzakati wandei dzembwa - imwe yaive Meliteo Kinido, rudzi rudiki, rune bvudzi refu rakanakira kufudza, kudzivirira imba nekuuraya zvipukanana. Vamwe vacho vaiva vaSpartan nevaMolossian. Iyo Spartan iyo yaimhanyisa yaishandiswa kuvhima nepo Molossian yaionekwa seyakakodzera kurinda makwai nedzimba. Vanyori vakati wandei vechiRoma vakaita saVirgil naVarro vanotaura nezvemhando mbiri idzi dzekupedzisira munhaurirano dzekuti imbwa rudzii yainyanya kubatsira kumapurazi.
Dzimwe mhando dzakati wandei dzinotaurwa nevanyori vakasiyana-siyana uye mavambo avo anozivikanwa zvikuru. Zvisinei, imwe yainzi Vertragus yakanga yakakosha zvikuru, inotsanangurwa sehound yekuona uye zvichida nhasi inogona kuzivikanwa seItaly grey hound. Arrian, wezana remakore rechipiri munyori wezvakaitika kare weRoma uyo akapedza nguva yakawanda yehupenyu hwake muAnatolia, aiva neVertragus ine maziso grey yaakanyora nezvayo, "... saka kune vose vaiva neshamwari yakadai: 'aikurumidza uye akachenjera uye ane humwari.'
Imbwa neIslam
Imbwa dzakaita basa rakakosha munhetembo dzechiIslam chisati chavapo uye kunyanya mumabhuku anotsanangura kuvhimwa kwemhuka inonzi oryx, mhara huru ine nyanga dzakatwasuka asi dzine ngozi zvikuru. MaBedouin emuArabia Peninsula aivhima oryx zvakanyanya kuti awane zvokudya sekunakidzwa kwekudzingirirwa. Pakazarurwa Korani, yaisanganisira ndima yairumbidza kuvhima, nokudaro ichiva nechokwadi chekuti imbwa dzakaita sasaluki dzinochengeta nzvimbo dzayo dzakakosha uye kunyange kutorwa sechikamu chemhuri. Ndima yeQur'an (5:4) chikamu chenhaurirano pamusoro pezvikafu zvinotenderwa kumaMuslim. “Zvinhu zvakanaka zvinotenderwa kwamuri, uye zvamakadzidzisa mhuka neshiri dzinodya nyama, muchidzidzidzisa kuvhima, munovadzidzisa kubva pane zvamakadzidziswa naAllah; saka idyai izvo zvavanokubatirai uye taurai zita raAllah pamusoro pazvo; uye chengetai basa renyu kuna Allah.”
Dambudziko riri pakuti vaMuslim vanofanira kuva vakachena pakunamata, imbwa dzinoonekwa sedzisina kuchena. Hazvina mhosva kuti zvinobatsira pakuvhima mombe nedzimba. Kuchengeta imbwa munzvimbo yakaganhurirwa yemba kwaizosvibisa utsanana hwenzvimbo yacho uye kunhuwa kwemba, tisingadudzi idi rokuti imbwa dzinodya zvinhu zvisina kuchena. Musumo yebhuku rezana ramakore rechigumi rakanyorwa naIbn al-Marzuban, The Book of The Superiority of Imbwa pamusoro pevazhinji veVaya vanopfeka Hembe [rakashandurwa nekupepetwa naGR Smith naMAS Abdel Haleem], mamwe emashoko akatsoropodza anowanikwa mu“Hadith” (“Tsika”) anosanganisira mashoko okuti “hapana ngirozi inoshanya mumba.” Izvi zviri pachena kuti zvakatorwa kubva munyaya yeNgirozi Gabrieri yakashanyira Muporofita kuti asvitse zvakazarurwa. Paakaona kambwanana mumba umu, akabva aenda.
Kutaura kwakadai souko kuri pamusoro apa kwakatungamirira kukusiyana kwemirangariro pakati pezvikoro zvakasiana-siana zvomutemo worudzidziso zvakanga zvatanga munyika dzechiMuslim. Uko chikoro cheMaliki chaigamuchira tsika yehutsanana hwembwa, chikoro cheShafi hachina. Chikoro cheHanifi chinova chikamu chikuru chemutemo wechiMuslim uye chakatorwa nevaOttoman chakasvika pakutaura kuti mate embwa aive asina kuchena.
Bhuku rehukuru hwembwa rine nhetembo nenyaya pfupi dzine chekuita nekusavimbika kwemunhu uye ushamwari hwembwa kunyangwe vatenzi vadzo vachidziranga. Mudetembi Abu Haffan semuenzaniso anotorwa:
“Musashamisika muchindiona ndichifamba netsoka pakati penyu;
apo riff-raff inosungirirwa.
Kana iyo riff-raff iri pamusoro pevanokudzwa, hazvishamise:
tsvina inoyangarara pamusoro pemvura nefuro!”
Pakati penyaya dzacho pane imwe yomumwe murume anorondedzera kudzoka kwaakanga aita achibva kuhondo neshamwari yake. Vakambomira kwekanguva uye mushure mekunge abatwa nepfungwa, shamwari yake yakamusunga ndokumukanda pamubhedha werukova. Akatora nhapwa dzake dzose akatiza, akamusiya achifa. Imbwa yakauya ndokugara padivi pake ichibva yaenda. Yakadzoka nechingwa ichipa murume kuti adye. Izvi zvakaitika mazuva matatu akatevedzana asi zuva retatu, mwana wemurume uyu akange ave kuda kuziva nezvemaitiro embwa iyi akasvika ndokununura baba vake. Vakaenda nembwa kumba kwavo uye murume akanunurwa akaichengeta pedyo, akaifukidza nejasi rake pachake kunyange zvazvo yakanga isiri hondo.
Uye saka imbwa inogamuchirwa pakati pemaArabu nekune dzimwe nzvimbo nekuda kwekugona kwayo kuvhima nekuchengetedza uye kuvimbika kwayo kumunhu.
