    How do dogs think? Do they fantasize? Do they dream? What do their barks, whines, and growls tell other dogs? How do they communicate in groups, and why do they form hierarchies? What do dogs want? Anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas attempts to answer these and other questions about a species that has been with mankind for over 20,000 years and still remains a mystery. Based on 30 years and hundreds of thousands of hours of research, this volume describes behavior every dog owner has seen thousands of times but will now understand for only the first time.

    Monica says: "Disappointing and dangerously incorrect"
    "A portrait of human failure"

    Story

    There are so many good books out there about dog behaviour -- but this isn't one of them. This book, in essence, is the portraint of a neglectful dog owner who allows her dogs to roam, who routinely puts them and other pets at risk, who chooses not to spay or neuter her dogs and allows litters of unwanted puppies to appear and who fails to meaningfully work with any of her dogs. There is no science in this book, and absolutely no humanity. A lot of soppy language to justify her own appalling behaviour. Truly, can't publishers show a little more judgment?
