Book description
How well do you know your dog?
Did you know that dogs have dreams and fears? That they do see
colour, that they smell electric storms, and feel scent as an emotion?
Jeffrey Masson takes us into the world of the dog, a world created
by a sense of smell one hundred million times more acute than ours,
and reintroduces us to man's best friend - loyal, honest,
straightforward, spontaneous and almost unbelievably forgiving.
Drawing on observations of his own three dogs, as well as true
stories of dogs' friendship, heroism and loyalty, Masson makes us
laugh, cry and think again about our canine companions, who, unlike
humans, will never lie about love.
Jeffrey Masson graduated from the Toronto Psychoanalytic Institute
and was briefly Projects Director of the Sigmund Freud Archives. The
book he wrote with Susan McCarthy on animal emotions,
When Elephants Weep
(1994), became a bestseller in the United States. Since then he has
published nine books on animals and their emotions, including
Dogs
Never Lie About Love
,
The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats
and most recently
, The Dog Who Couldn't Stop Loving
. He lives with his family in Auckland, New Zealand.
