Synopsis

This book looks at the world of dogs - explaining what "man's best friend" is really thinking. Photographs record mongrels and purebreeds in action - hunting, eating, sleeping and fighting. Each spread shows a particular behaviour, for example territorial or submissive, what the dog is doing and how to read his/her mannerisms. Special boxes compare the same behaviour in a wolf pack. Dr Bruce Fogle writes a monthly column for "Prima" and "Dog Today" magazines.

About this title

From Library Journal

Is that dog snarling--or smiling? These expressions and many other nuances of canine body language are clearly and charmingly explained and illustrated in Fogle's latest popular work on pet behavior (following Know Your Cat , LJ 1/92). Over 350 photographs capture variations in facial expression and stance demonstrated by a wide variety of dogs, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes and from newborn to geriatric, as they engage in a broad range of interesting, and often amusing, activities. The accompanying text succinctly interprets each situation and offers advice on dealing with problems. Public library patrons, young and old, will be entertained and educated by this beautiful and informative book.
