Dogs are magnificent observers, far better than we are. They are marvelous at reading our body language, which is why your dog may know -- without your needing to explain -- that he's being taken to the veterinarian, or that you're depressed and in need of comfort. We humans have a rich vocabulary of body language, but in our preoccupation with words, we have allowed our own instinctive understanding of body language to wither. Dogs read us better than we read them, but that doesn't mean they understand why we behave the way we do. Bruce Fogle, a vet with a vast amount of experience in the field of dog and dog-owner behavior, explains in this question-and-answer guide why dog owners do what they do, why dogs respond in the way they do, and how humans and canines can learn to better understand each other.

"Quite simply this is an excellent book. It is well-written, with snatches of dry humour. It should be mandatory reading for anybody who keeps a dog or has intentions of so doing." -R. W. F. Poole, Daily TelegraphHow do dogs perceive the world about them? How do they see, hear, learn, relate to their owners? How large are their brains, what is their emotional makeup? Why do they suffer from stress and how can it be coped with? Over the last few years a substantial body of knowledge has been built up about the psychology of dog behavior. Combining more than twenty years of practical experience as a veterinary clinician with a personal knowledge and understanding of the latest international research, Dr. Bruce Fogle has written the most inclusive and relevant book on how the canine mind works.
