Dogwise Publishing is pleased to announce the release of Tales of Two Species by Patricia McConnell, now in stock. We are very honored that Trisha chose to work with us on her latest project! Tales of Two Species contains the very best of Trisha's essays focusing on issues relating to the relationships between dogs and people, originally written for The Bark magazine. A common thread running throughout the book is that the way people and dogs perceive and interact with each other is impacted by the fact that while we are quite different animals, we do share some common traits. People are quite verbal, dogs are body language oriented. People put cologne and perfume on, dogs like to roll in...well just about anything! And so it goes - similar but different, best friends but frequently irritating each other. The more we know about how dogs think, why they act the way they do, and understand our own behavioral traits the better our relationship with our dogs will be. As Sue Sternberg says about Trisha's work, "This book is a gift to us who want to understand dogs better, to communicate with them more clearly, and perhaps most importantly, to help dogs understand us!"
