THE TRUTH ABOUT DOGS

By Stephen Budiansky

2001, Phoenix UK

The Ancestry, Social Conventions, Mental Habits and Moral Fiber of Canis Familiaris.

Dogs have stolen our hearts, our homes and our wallets, not necessary in that order. Just how do dogs get otherwise reasonable adults feed them sirloin, let them occupy easy chairs, and generally allow them to regulate our every walking hour? In this provocative and wholly admiring reappraisal of our canine companions, Stephen Boudiansky calls upon the latest research on dog behaviour, genes and evolution to explain how they have come to occupy such a remarkable place in our lives and affections.
