Pets

A groundbreaking, inspiring, and deeply personal exploration of the unique relationship between dogs and humans, from the bestselling author of Dogs Never Lie About Love. In The Dog Who Couldn’t Stop Loving, Masson considers the far-reaching consequences of the co-evolution of dogs and humans. Over the past 40,000 years a collective domestication has occurred that brings us to where we are today —humans have formed intense bonds with dogs, and the adoration is almost always reciprocal. Masson himself has experienced a profound bond with his new dog Benjy, a failed guide-dog for the blind, who possesses an abundance of uninhibited love. But Masson knows that the love he feels for Benjy—and that Benjyfeels for all the people and animals around him —is not unique; it is in fact a love that only dogs and humans possess. With wisdom, insight, and a brilliant analysis of recent scientific research, bestselling author Jeffrey Masson has written a provocative and compelling book that will change the way we think about love.
