How well do you know your dog? Did you know that dogs have dreams and fears? Tha
t they do see colour, that they smell electric storms, and feel scent as an emot
ion? Jeffrey Masson takes us into the world of the dog, a world created by a sen
se of smell one hundred million times more acute than ours, and reintroduces us
to man's best friend - loyal, honest, straightforward, spontaneous and almost un
believably forgiving. Drawing on observations of his own three dogs, as well as
true stories of dogs' friendship, heroism and loyalty, Masson makes us laugh, cr
y and think again about our canine companions, who, unlike humans, will never li
e about love.
