I have read several "dog books", but this is the one that has helped. The author is a true dogologist, and has a strong understanding of humans too. She strives to make us more aware of what we do with our dogs and why.
I can't say enough good things about this book. If you like dogs, you will love this book. In all my years of relating with dogs, all the books, tv programs, doggy classes, etc, all the good and bad advice i've gotten, this is the first book that has really helped me understand our four-legged friends and has given me a glimpse of how they perceive us too.
Quotes:
For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are no brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth. Henry Beston -- The Outermost House
It's important not to let others demean your love for your dog.
