Publisher's Synopsis
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson has long been interested in the relationship between humans and animals, and he's always been aware that there was something very special in our bond with dogs, more intense than with any other animal. No other animal loves us in quite the same way as dogs love us. And it is mutual. Is it possible that we developed the capacity for love, sympathy, empathy, and compassion because of our long association with dogs?
