We who
love dogs know they love us in return - it's as plain as their noses in
our faces. Yet how can we know what other emotions they feel? Jeffrey
Masson answers this question in Dogs Never Lie about Love, a captivating
book that explores the variety and intensity of canine emotions. Masson,
who also authored When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals,
draws on scientific studies, literature, and the personal and professional
observations of psychologists, dog trainers, and dog lovers. He explores
emotions such as gratitude, compassion, loneliness, and disappointment,
and discusses what dogs dream, how they interact with other species, and
how significantly smell shapes their perceptions. The book is generously
illustrated with examples of canine heroism, playfulness, and loyalty.
If you want to see the world through a dog's heart, this book is a must.
