For those of us who deeply cherish our dogs but are sometimes baffled by their behavior, Patricia McConnell's For the Love of a Dog will come as a revelation-a treasure trove of useful facts, informed speculation, and intriguing accounts of emotions in people and dogs. Readers will discover how fear, anger, and happiness underlie the lives of both people and dogs and, most important, how understanding emotion in both species can improve the relationship between them. Like the Other End of the Leash, this book is a combination of science, stories and practical advice that can improve the relationship between dogs and people all over the world.
