From the back cover:

“This slow motion study of canine bone and joint movement, as seen through moving x-rays, offers a close look at skeletal action inside the dog. The dogs selected for this program were individually filmed and fluoroscoped while moving on a speed-controlled treadmill in a laboratory specially designed by Dr. Farish A. Jenkins at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University.

Different types of dogs were chosen to illustrate different ways of moving, some showing normal structure and gait, others with faulty action due to serious orthopedic problems. The study includes x-ray views from the side (lateral) as well as views from beneath the moving dog (dorso-ventral).

For better understanding, the narration is clarified with plain text captions and graphic effects as a veterinarian explains what the film is revealing and how variances in structure help or hinder performance.

This Cineradiographic study supplements Rachel Page Elliott’s book DOGSTEPS, and its companion DVD DOGSTEPS, What to Look for in a Dog.
