The grace of canine company The Social Lives of Dogs traces the relationships between author Elizabeth Marshall Thomas's dogs, and their relationships with the people in the author's household. Thomas is a biologist who has worked in Africa tracing the lives of various African mammals, and she brings her expertise and insight to the interactions amongst her pack of domesticated dogs. I found the book to be okay, but only just so. It felt far more like a memoir about the author herself than a deeper exploration of the relationships between the dogs. I felt several of her observations would be pretty obvious to an observant dog owner. I think the most interesting thing I took away from this book is how dogs will look to the pack leader (canine, not human) to learn how to act in just about every situation in a multi-dog household.

The groundbreaking, New York Times-bestselling book on canine behavior and how dogs become family from the author of The Hidden Life of Dogs. In the sequel to her New York Times bestseller The Hidden Lives of Dogs, anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas profiles the assortment of canines in her own household to examine how dogs have comfortably adapted to life with their human owners--and with each other. Thomas answers questions we all have about our dogs' behavior: Do different barks mean different things? What makes a dog difficult to house-train? Why do certain dogs and cats get along so well? How does one of her dogs recognize people he sees only once a year, while another barks at strangers she sees every day? What leads to the formation of packs or groups? As Publishers Weekly raves, "no one writes with greater emotional intelligence about man's (and woman's) best friend than Thomas." Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
