"Lively and fascinating, Dog Is Love reveals a simple and
yet enormously profound insight: Dogs are unique because they love
us. The reader comes away cheered, better informed, and with a new
and deeper appreciation for our amazing canine companions and their
enormous capacity for love."
--Cat Warren, New York Times best-selling author of
What the Dog Knows
"Clive Wynne is a thoughtful and clever canine cognition
researcher; here, he tells the story of his, and his students',
particular journey through researching this intellectual puzzle:
how are dogs so perfectly suited to our species? As a child, a
dog's love is certain; as a researcher, talking of dog 'love' is
verboten. Clive gets through that and comes back to where he's
begun, with a dog happily rushing to greet him when he comes
home."
--Alexandra Horowitz, New York Times best-selling author
of Inside of a Dog and Our Dogs, Ourselves "A beautiful
ode to all things canine. Clive Wynne gives us the best scientific
proof that dogs really do love us."
--Gregory Berns, author of How Dogs Love Us "Riveting. Part
memoir, part scientific detective story, and part call to action,
this book will change the way you look at dogs."
--Hal Herzog, author of Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We
Eat: Why It's So Hard To Think Straight About Animals "An
unforgettable glimpse into the heart and soul of this cherished
species, Dog Is Love shows how our emotional bond with dogs holds
the key to understanding and caring for them."
--Marty Becker, "America's Veterinarian" and founder of
FearFreePets.com "How do you know if your dog loves you? Are
dogs really capable of feeling love, or do they only want the food
and safety you provide? Clive Wynne answers these questions and
more in Dog Is Love, revealing new, compelling evidence that
explains the incredible relationship we have with our dogs. If you
want to better understand and build an even stronger bond with your
own dog, this book is a must read."
--Victoria Stilwell, author of The Secret Language of Dogs
"Science finally reveals the dog's secret: the unique capacity for
love that separates them from all other animals. Superb."
--John Bradshaw, New York Times best-selling author of
Dog Sense "Entertaining . . . Dog lovers will be fascinated and
the takeaway message that 'we can do better for our dogs, ' by
keeping in mind that dogs feel a meaningful emotional connection to
their human owners and thus should be treated respectfully and
considerately, is solidly supported."
--Publishers Weekly "For any scientifically inclined dog
lover, this will be a fascinating read."
--Booklist "[A] pleasingly garrulous and jocular report from the
front lines of canine research . . . A good mix of science and
emotion, recommended for dog lovers everywhere."
--Kirkus Reviews "After reading this book, readers may not perceive
their relationship with their dog in the same way. Engagingly
written and understandable by general audiences, this is a worthy
addition to any pet lover's library."
--Library
Journal
