Excellent.......

You will find more and more and more about your loving dog ! You won't be sorry for buying this book. Excellent. First I bought this book because it's about dog and it's on sale (just like that). But later, when I read it, obviously it's not just an ordinary dog-book, this one is extraordinary !

Top rank dog-book !

This is one of the most attractive dog-book I've ever read. You will get more understanding about the world of your beloved dog, that actually, we can humanize dog. The scope of this book is about dog's life, dog's manner, dog's soul, and....I can't mention all of them. Buy this book, and you will understand by yourself !

Great book

If you are one of the dog-lovers, this one is a must-have. You'll find out why....This is unputdownable. I've read the hardcover edition of this book.

Very different

I rather enjoyed this book. No, it definitely is not another cutesy dog book. Rather it is more of an academic study of the relationship between man and dog. There is a chapter on Bestiality which may offend some people, but I personally was pleased to see someone have the courage to deal with this 'forbidden' subject.

A sweet book, thoughtful and learned too

I bought this book primarily for the bestiality chapters, but found it mouch more than just that. Insightful and fun. It was a great read. Thanks!
