A charming, playful and moving book which will forever change the way you think about dogs
Product Description
How well do you know your dog?
Did you know that dogs have dreams and fears? That they do see colour, that they smell electric storms, and feel scent as an emotion?
Jeffrey Masson takes us into the world of the dog, a world created by a sense of smell one hundred million times more acute than ours, and reintroduces us to man's best friend - loyal, honest, straightforward, spontaneous and almost unbelievably forgiving.
Drawing on observations of his own three dogs, as well as true stories of dogs' friendship, heroism and loyalty, Masson makes us laugh, cry and think again about our canine companions, who, unlike humans, will never lie about love.

Format:Paperback
This is a fantastic book written in a friendly manner as though the author is engaged in conversation with the reader. Jeffrey Masson adopts three dogs to give himself "a pack" and then examines the emotional behaviour of these animals in particular, and researches and recounts tales of others. This is a fascinating and heart-warming book written by a man with a real sympathy with dogs and a true love of the canine species. A good read leaving the reader with plenty of food-for-thought.

This is a truly moving account of the emotional world of dogs.Masson has an inate understanding of what's going on inside the dog's mind. Some of the accounts brought me to tears, especially the dog who brought food to another dog stuck down a mine shaft.From his writings on Freud though, I know that Masson has a tendency to make assumptions, and misunderstand the situation, so I was cautious reading this book. Sure enough, his observations came from his own small group of four dogs,[a very limited sample compared to those who have worked with and trained hundreds of dogs].Still worth reading though, and I think overall he does kind of get what is going on.

For dog-owners, this book tells you what you already knew. Namely, how very special our canine companions are. There are stories which will upset readers but, nevertheless, the message to the book has to be one of joy. Dogs are wonderful creatures and we could perhaps learn a little from their faithful nature.

I loved this book
I agree with the reviews. Having lived with three dogs between 1981 and 2009 I agree completely that having a dog can enrich and ennoble us. Read more

Dogs behaviour
This was an OK book. Nothing startling and not as good as J M's other books but a good read nevertheless and very informative about canine behaviour in an anecdotal manner - which... Read more

GREAT IDEA BUT DULL TO READ
Such potential in this set of concepts but the author can't help being an academic who kills his own brilliant ideas by having to be boringly scientific in a mind numbing way.
