From the New York Times–bestselling author of When Elephants Weep, "a fascinating exploration of the unique relationship" between humans and canines ( Booklist). Animal lovers get ready – Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, international bestselling author of the "winning and wise" Dogs Never Lie About Love ( San Francisco Chronicle ) is back with an inspiring, heart-warming, and deeply personal exploration of the unique relationship between humans and dogs. As in When Elephants Weep, The Face on Your Plate, and The Pig Who Sang to the Moon, Masson blends cultural mythology, scientific research, and stories of his own experiences to tackle deep questions about the emotional lives of humans and animals. His compelling, elegant, and often humorous narrative about the love people feel for dogs gives a new perspective on the extraordinary relationship between our species. "Masson is at his most personal and appealing in this book, especially when he writes about Benjy." — Publishers Weekly "[An] enjoyable book for dog lovers." — Kirkus Reviews
