Description

No other animal loves us in quite the same way as dogs love us. And it is mutual. Is it possible that we developed the capacity for love, sympathy, empathy, and compassion because of our long association with dogs? This title considers the far-reaching consequences of this co-evolution of dogs and humans, drawing from scientific research.

Reviews

In his story of Benjy, the dog who couldn t stop loving, Masson does a thought-provoking job of leveling the playing field between us and other species while also posing fascinating questions about the emotional makeup of our closest companion in the animal kingdom, our dogs. --Ted Kerasote, author of "Merle s Door"
