Excellent Book

I have read a number of Stanley Coren's books and this is by far my favorite. Well researched and well written, this book is full of interesting information that will change the way you see dogs as well as the human/dog relationship. The best part is, this book is so enjoyably easy to read that its wealth of valuable information comes easily and never feels like work or reading a text book the way some non-fiction can. If you have an interest in dogs, give this book a read, I believe that your insight and relationship with your dog will be the better for it.
