From the Inside Flap
With extraordinary insight and vision, renowned veterinarian and animal behaviorist Dr. Michael W. Fox explores the minds, hearts, and bodies of dogs.
Fox believes that dogs, and all animals, have much to teach their human companions—if only humans learn how to listen. In Dog Body, Dog Mind, Fox not only teaches readers to become fluent in “dog speak,” he illuminates the wondrous powers that dogs possess—from their amazing ability to empathize to their mysterious ability to find their owners, sometimes across continents, when they have become separated.
Fox makes a terrific case for the right of dogs and all animals to live safe, healthy lives, free from fear and harm. Only by better understanding and appreciating our dogs and by strengthening the dog-human bond, Fox explains, can we do right by them.
Dog Body, Dog Mind also offers a holistic approach to companion-animal care and preventive medicine, including essential nutritional guidelines, as well as behavioral advice and training tips that will help guarantee a healthy and happy pet.
Between understanding your dog’s mind and learning how to best take care of his or her body, Fox makes certain both dog and owner will enjoy a long and loving life together.

A must have,
By Porres "SFA" (New Orleans) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dog Body, Dog Mind: Exploring Canine Consciousness and Total Well-Being (Hardcover)
I intially purchased this book for myself. I read almost the entire book in one sitting. It is absolutely wonderful. I expected to learn more about my dog's behavior and needs but I learned much more than that. Read it and you will also learn something about human behavoir and needs. It is a must have for ANYONE but especially for those who live with a dog!
