Dog sense : how the new science of dog behavior can make you a better friend to your pet / John Bradshaw.
Dogs have been mankind's faithful companions for tens of thousands of years, yet today they are regularly treated as either pack-following wolves or furry humans. The truth is, dogs are neither. In this book, the author uses the latest scientific research to show how humans can live in harmony with--not just dominion over-- their four-legged friends.
