Dogs and humans belong to different species, but current science provides fascinating and irrefutable evidence that our similarities are greater than our differences. This also applies to the ability to feel emotions, which has long been denied to dogs, as to all other animals, by science. The author explores how emotions arise, what purpose they serve, and why they are equally important for both humans and animals. She skillfully combines scientific facts with heart and humor, making the reading experience both educational and entertaining. Discover how fear, anger, happiness, love, compassion, sadness, or jealousy connect our dogs and us, and how we can learn to better recognize the subtle signals of our dogs' facial expressions and body language as indicators of their emotional state: from now on, you will see your dog in a new light. Beware when you start reading this book: you might find yourself awake deep into the night. A must-read for all dog owners. Patricia McConnell, Ph.D., is a professor of zoology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a certified animal behavior therapist, and lives with her dogs and sheep on a farm in Wisconsin.
