I understand dogs much better now. Very well written easy to read book. I look at dogs in a different light thanks to this book! Interesting facts, i.e. the meaning of different wags of a dogs tail, make this book a fine read for any dog owner.

This review is from: What Do Dogs Know? (Hardcover)

I have this book and I could not put it down. I have had a dog for every year of my life. My parents got me my first dog when I was two years old. And from the moment on I was taught to respect others, and to take care of my dog as well as others. I have had one dog that I know could have read a book if she could turn the pages. I taught her to eat at the table with me and she would sing and spell. I could spell any one of her toys and she would go get what ever I would spell without me having to say the name of the toy (mouse,bird,duck,ball,bone,or treat). I got her after I went through my divorce and so she was my "BUDDY".. When I would brush my teeth at night she would come in the bathroom for me to brush her teeth. And when I would blow dry my hair I had to brush her with the blow dryer. I trained her without this book and I wish that I had read this book first. I am planning on getting another dog soon. And now that I have read this book I feel that I wil! l be better prepared to train my next dog.
