Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
Enjoy an unusually scientific approach to the natural history of the dog which examines its evolution, behavior, and interactions with humans rather than providing the usual photo display of breeds. From genetic predispositions towards behavior to social development and communication influences, this presents an intriguing survey of dog developments for students of science.

Review
"The technical quality of the data is high, the chapters well-written, and the book is well-organized. This title is a welcome addition to the scientific literature describing the behavior of dogs and dog-human interactions." Science Books and Films
