This article discuss the existence of different narratives on the history and relationships between human and non-human beings, based on data from the Karitiana, an indigenous people of Brazilian Amazon, and their relationships with dogs and similar species. It's objective is to demonstrate that studies on domesticity produced by biologists - focusing on a kind of parallelism between human's and non-human's social forms in consolidation of mutual coexistence - must account culturally distinct forms of constructing society.

Keywords : Domesticiy; Amazon Indians; Society; Animals.
