Perfect for you if...

You love dogs and want to understand the science and psychology behind why they mean so much to us.
You've read Marley & Me or other memoir-style pet books and crave something that goes deeper into the emotional truth.
You're interested in how animals think and feel, beyond sentiment, with real research backing up what you already sense about your own dog.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a practical dog training or behaviour guide. This isn't about commands or solving problems.
You're skeptical of attributing emotions to animals and prefer a strictly biological approach.
You're looking for a light, breezy read. Masson blends mythology, science, and philosophy, which requires some intellectual engagement.

About this book

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson explores the relationship between humans and dogs throughout history. Drawing on cultural mythology, scientific research, and personal experiences, he examines the emotional connections between our species and what dogs mean to people. Masson's approach mirrors his previous works, including Dogs Never Lie About Love, When Elephants Weep, The Face on Your Plate, and The Pig Who Sang to the Moon. His narrative combines compelling storytelling with humor to investigate why dogs have held such significance in human life for thousands of years.
