Dog Body, Dog Mind: Exploring Canine Consciousness And Total Well-Being

by Dr. Michael W. Fox

With extraordinary insight and vision, veterinarian and animal behaviorist Dr. Fox explores the minds and hearts of dogs. Dogs, and all animals, have much to teach their human companions, if only humans knew how to listen. In Dog Body/Dog Mind, Fox seeks to enhance readers’ understanding and communication with their canine companions. He helps readers become more fluent in “dog speak,” and to understand what dogs feel, think, and want, strengthening the dog-human bond. Better communication leads to happier dogs and people. Fox also offers a holistic approach to companion animal care and preventive medicine, as well as behavioral advice and training tips that will help guarantee a healthy and happy animal.

There's some good stuff here about dog behavior, but for the most part it's new agey and silly, with a lot of congratulatory self-reference and almost no science.

It was nice to read a book written by an actual expert. I love how this man cares so much about our family dogs and all animals in nature. Some of the information in the second part of the book is outdated, as the book was published in 2007, but overall a good read. Thank you, Dr. Fox.

Things about dogs you never knew. Pup mills, wolf, cloning and bad dog food.
