Masson's ground-breaking book When Elephants Weep looked at the emotional lives of elephants. Now he's turned to dogs, and the material is rich. Here we have the fears, loves, sadnesses and even the dreams of dogs. This is a scholarly, sometimes daring book, fully backed up with notes and references, yet accessible, inviting and full of fascinating anecdotes. Two final chapters, 'Thinking like a dog' and 'In search of the soul of the dog' go to the heart of what a dog is, as has never been done before. This lovingly written book is certain to be of wide interest to all pet owners as well as others who enjoy animals. (Kirkus UK)
Masson begins by asking if we ever know precisely what another person is actually feeling. It may be no harder, he argues, to discover the truth about feelings in dogs. Yet for all their evident loyalty, heroism and compassion, Masson highlights research which shows that dogs lie in a universe of scent a hundred million times more acutely appreciated than by man. It is a world of emotions readily available only to other dogs. To discover more about the complex but transparent nature of canine emotional responses, Masson acquired three large dogs to from a community with his own family and set about a close scrutiny of their feelings - the first, he says since Charles Darwin pointed us in the right direction 125 years ago.
