The author is a professor of Zoology and has written several earlier books re: dogs, this being among the more scholarly.
If a potential reader is uncertain if they wish to invest their time in such detailed far, s/he should check out the photo section bound into the center of the book. Example: Photo of chimps kissing, photo of humans kissing, photo dog licking a gal's cheek. Caption: "Lots of dogs like to lick the faces of people they know well, but even then, many of them would avoid eye-to-eye contact and approach from the side. Most dogs appreciate the same courtesy from us, especially from strangers."
