The Hidden Life of Dogsby Elizabeth M Thomas
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this beautiful account, based on thirty years of living with and observing dogs, wolves and dingoes novelist and anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas brings us a completely new understanding of dogs. We meet Misha, a friend's husky, whom Thomas followed on his daily rounds of more than 130 square miles, and who ultimately provided the simple and surprising answer to the question What do dogs want most? Not food, not sex, but other dogs. We also meet Maria, who adored Misha, bore his puppies, and clearly mourned when he moved away; Bingo, a brave asthmatic pug; and many more fascinating individuals in this unforgettable chronicle, which "brims with insight and respect" (Emily Mitchell, Time International). Review:The New York Times Book ReviewWhat do dogs want, feel, even think? A close, sympathetic observer's data make this a profoundly unsilly question. Review:Chicago Sun-TimesA remarkable little book....[Thomas] brings both the rigorousness of a scientist and the imagination of a novelist to her studies. Review:Atlantic MonthlyPrecise, sympathetic, and fascinating...delightful and enlightening. Review:Jeffrey Moussaieff MassonThe New York Times Book ReviewA fascinating glimpse into the canine world, possibly deeper and more accurate than any we have had until now. Review:NewsweekWhat lives Thomas's dogs seem to have led, so full of love, jealousy, passion, and fear!...Thomas has surely done something unique and wonderful. Review:Kirkus ReviewsPopular science of the highest order: revelatory, impeccably observed, and a joy to read. A four-woof salute to Thomas and a vigorous tail-wag to boot. Review:Los Angeles Times Book ReviewInstead of training and obedience, [Thomas] offers as an alternative a world of "trust and mutual obligation." Review:Atlantic Monthly Precise, sympathetic, and fascinating...delightful and enlightening. Review:The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Keenly observed and precisely written....The most fascinating creature in THE Hidden Life Of Dogs...turns out to be Marshall herself. Review:Pioneer Press (St. Paul)Wonderful...a joyous and enlightening book. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
