Editorial Reviews

"In this timely and important book, Dr. Michael W. Fox looks at the mind/body connection in a familiar and well-loved species. An emminently qualified animal behaviourist, he does a good job of blending the philosophical with the practical. The book covers a lot of ground, and will make a great read for anyone who loves dogs (or cats) and wants to know and relate to them better."— Dr. Paul McCutcheon, pioneering holistic veterinarian.
