Summary: Good introduction to canine behavior
Comment: It's largely anecdotal and sentimental. It's not particularly scientific, nor does it pretend to be. That said, it does provide interesting takes on various canine mannerisms. It's a short book, and I read it in a sitting, but did not find any huge breakthroughs.

Summary: "Scratch a Dog, Find a Wolf"
Comment: Everyone who owns a dog has observed strange doggie behaviors. Well, at least curious to us, but not to our canine companions. When you've had a couple of different dogs, you know that they all exhibit instinctive traits that seem very important to them. In this small book, Tom Davis explains that dogs are descended from wolves amd have many of the same traits as their wild cousins. He also gives a thoughtful answer to over 40 questions that interest many of us about our pets.
We understand a lot about our dogs because we know them and we're able to use our common sense to figure things out, but sometimes it's helpful to hear what an expert has to say. Because
they love us, we all would like to think that our dogs are excellent at judging character, but how about the times when they are suspicious of someone who we know is a good person? Check out "Why Are Dogs Distrustful of Some Strangers and Not Others?"
Vicky, our Bearded Collie was the greatest of diggers. She could and did push cinder blocks out of the way in order to dig under a fence. Read "Why Do Dogs Dig Holes?"
Princess Poppy, a Beardie Husky mix acted the most like a wolf. She would put her head up in the wolf stance and really give off a couple of piercing howls. The author gives several reasons for this behavior in "Why Do Some Dogs Howl?" My favorite of his answers is: "Do a pub full of Irishmen need a reason to sing?"
This book was a gift from my friend Karin who, along with our dogs has shared a lot of daily walks with me where we have pondered the question that all dog owners want to know, "Why do dogs do that?"
A fun book!

Summary: Funny and curiousity !
Comment: I'm a dog lover but a lot of behaviors he/she does confuses me sometimes. The author Tom Davis wrote this book explaining in details for unbelievable 42 manners of dogs. He artfully described in funny way but I also found that some realistic explaination hidden on it. The book gives relaxation to me as I think it is for the general dog lover and interest book reader, not for reference. The author can raise up even detailed l behavior to tell us such as 'why do wet dogs always shake on you?' or some frequent question from children such as 'why do dogs come in so many sizes, shapes, and colors? !! In summary, this book reflects broader views for dog lover in relaxing method and fitted words. Frankly to say, I love my dog and understand him/her much more after reading this book.
