A pioneering canine behaviorist draws on cutting-edge research to show that a single, simple trait--the capacity to love--is what makes dogs such perfect companions for humans, and to explain how people can better reciprocate their affection.
As a dog owner and a dog lover, I find this book so fascinating! I've gained a greater understanding of why humans & dogs have the special relationship they have and how I can better love my own dog. I recommend this book to dog-owners, dog-lovers, and animal-lovers and science-nerds alike.
