What to expect
'A must-read for anyone who loves dogs.' – Rory Cellan- Jones
This book explores what every dog owner knows – that a dog is never just a dog.
They are our companions, best friends, members of the family and for some the most important part of our lives.
Our ability to make meaningful connections with other animal species and their ability to return the favour is, perhaps, never more beautiful than the bond we have with dogs.
Simon Wooler, trainer to Sophie from Romania, social media’s most famous fearful canine, unlocks the heart of the special relationship we have with dogs.
He explores how, over millennia, they have inveigled their way into our homes and hearts and evolved to live alongside us. Demystifying the science behind dog behaviour, he explains how they learn (and why they sometimes seem immune to our efforts to train them), how they communicate and what influences the powerful bond they form with their people.
Perfect for dog lovers – the essential guide to loving your canine companion.
