If Only They Could Speak: Stories About Pets and Their People

Nicholas H Dodman


The author, a veterinary behaviorist, evokes James Herriot with these remarkable stories of distressed pet and their equally troubled owners. Can you imagine a dog who always arranged six pieces of Kibbles in depressions in the couch before he could lie down? With 13 true stories gathered from his own experience as one of the foremost practicing animal behaviorists, Dr. Dodman reveals that animals' emotions are often as complex and heartrending as their human counterparts.
