Kirkus UK Review Massons ground-breaking book When Elephants Weep looked at the emotional lives of elephants. Now hes turned to dogs, and the material is rich. Here we have the fears, loves, sadnesses and even the dreams of dogs. This is a scholarly, sometimes daring book, fully backed up with notes and references, yet accessible, inviting and full of fascinating anecdotes. Two final chapters, Thinking like a dog and In search of the soul of the dog go to the heart of what a dog is, as has never been done before. This lovingly written book is certain to be of wide interest to all pet owners as well as others who enjoy animals.
