‘’Be kind to animals and remember that their experience of the world and their perception is very different to ours. And always pick up your dog’s poo. If there’s anything more likely to make people hate our dogs, it's stepping in a hot, wet pile of shit.’’
I really love books about dogs or animals in general - these are always a right pick.
- Also the writer has quite the humor.
10/10 read for dog owners.

Cute and quick

[Joe Gauthier · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick, simple read with some fun and myth-busting facts. Fun book if you’re looking for something fast, silly, and informative. Not quite a deep dive on dog behavior though.

A fun, light hearted and easy to digest little book on all things canine. Not something that's going to teach you how to look after or train a dog, but plenty of interesting information to help you understand a bit more about how dogs understand the world and how they interact with humans.

Ik heb hem in het Nederlands gelezen. Interessante weetjes over honden en met humor geschreven. Ik snap nu meer waarom mijn hond zich gedraagt zoals hij doet en ik waardeer hem nog meer dan dat ik al deed.

Easily digestible small bites of information.

Fairly fun read overall.

Quick, fun and easy to read to understand your dog better. I recently got a new dog and it's nice to have a little peak inside their mind. Don't expect anything too serious.

Great light and pleasant read to get some, nay all, fun facts about dogs backed by science.

[João Mineiro · Rating 4 out of 5]

A funny way of learning about dogs, with a lot of research included.

Perfectly enjoyable little book about doggos.

Enjoyable read

[Ewout Knoester · Rating 2 out of 5]

Common knowledge about dogs is provided in simple yet nuanced terms, interspersed with rather coerced humour levelled for children.

Ook hele leuke grappige manier van feitjes op een verhalende manier vertellen!
