What would dogs ask for, if they knew how? John Bradshaw, who has been at the centre of the latest research into what makes dogs tick, gives us the answers.
Overturning the most common myths about dogs’ emotions and behaviour, this book shows how we should really treat our pets, and stands up for dogdom: not the wolf in canine clothes, not the small furry child, not the trophy-winner, but the real dog, who wants to be part of the family and enjoy life – mankind’s closest friend.
‘The most fantastic book, a revelation . . . there is no doubt about it – John Bradshaw is a dog’s best friend’ Observer
‘Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the psychology behind the growl, the rising hackles and the wagging tail’ Daily Telegraph
‘Nothing less than a manifesto for a new understanding of our canine friends’ Guardian
‘A case grounded in kindness and science . . . Authoritative, wise and rather moving’ Independent
‘A wonderful, reassuring, and encouraging book . . . I give it a joyful bark’ Literary Review
