Expanded Description:
Exploring the canine mind. Captures the high degree of mutual understanding and empathy that exists between humans and their proverbial best friends. Argues that the long-standing alliance of dogs and humans arose from the problem-solving and communication skills evident in wolves, from which all modern dogs are descended. These basic intellectual skills were refined and enhanced as dogs and humans evolved together over tens of thousands of years. Notes that our co-evolution with dogs is far from over, and invites dog owners to contact him and participate in his program to breed more intelligent, better-communicating family dogs.

| Great scientific work, April 11, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Sarah H |
| The author combines explanations and discussion of up to date research on dog and wolf behavior with case studies and anecdotal evidence from life with his own two dogs. I found the book very interesting, especially the author's theory that humans and dogs coevolved. The book is well-written and has a lot of information. The research explanations are sometimes technical, so this book may not be the best choice for the average pet owner. For anyone interested in the science behind dog behavior, and how dogs are like, and unlike, wolves, this book does a great job. |
