Learning to read our animal companions offers practical
benefits, from avoiding bites to resolving problems that
stress the human-canine bond. Weaving personal stories with
the latest brain science, Dr.
Patricia B. McConnell intriguingly reveals how psychology,
biology, genetics, socialization and environment shape
emotion in her new book, " For the Love of a Dog:
Understanding Emotion in You and Your
Best Friend."
This week's tipsheet features 2 parts: a link to a very
short article I wrote about the book for the Examiner
newspapers, followed by extensive notes from the book. This
information gives you a sampling of the insight contained in
the book -- which makes it a highly recommended read and
also a good gift.
