Book Description:
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).

Elizabeth Marshall Thomas brings 30 years of experience working with and observing dogs to this book. Various stories of individual dogs are related to explain how they think, love, and problem-solve. A must read book for the dog lover.
I thought it was interesting. Not too terribly clinical, but behavior any dog lover will recognize.
One of my favorite dog books, I just have two copies. The author really gets into understanding the life of dogs.
