"Riding the wave generated by his best-selling When Elephants Weep (1995), Masson offers further clever musings on the emotional lives of animals, concentrating on that most fervent practitioner of interspecies devotion, Rover. [Masson] is a graceful, powerful, informed writer."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Here at last, a beautiful and sensitively written book on the exceedingly important subject of dogs' emotional lives. It is high time that somebody takes on the subject, and we owe a debt of gratitude to Jeffrey Masson for doing so fearlessly, thoroughly, and lovingly."
--Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Hidden Life of Dogs

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Used: Acceptable. Hardback with D/J in good condition, pages browned, owners name on first page. 1997 1st edition Jonathan Cape. This is an investigation into the emotional lives of the animals that live in closest harmony with humans - dogs. To discover more about the complex but transparent nature of canine emotional responses, Masson acquired three large dogs to form a community with his own family and set about a close scrutiny of their feelings. Masson begins by asking if we ever know precisely what another person is actually feeling. It may be no harder, he argues, to discover the truth about feeling in dogs. As human beings, we restrict ourselves with language, using a term as vague as "I am depressed" to signal a highly complex set of emotions for which there is no exact equivalent. The joy that dogs exhibit when their owners return home is at least as complicated and hard to define, but the pleasure is evident, unconcealed, and without the ambivalence with which humans seem cursed. Yet for all their evident loyalty, heroism and compassion, Masson highlights research which shows that dogs live in a universe of scent a hundred million times more acutely appreciated than by man. It is a world of emotion readily available only to other dogs. - used books, secondhand books, out of print books, hard to find books, for sale, second-hand books, college books, student books, nonfiction, first edition, signed copies, non-fiction books delivered world wide.
