Aus dem Klappentext

With extraordinary insight and vision, renowned veterinarian and animal behaviorist Dr. Michael W. Fox explores the minds, hearts, and bodies of dogs. Fox believes that dogs, and all animals, have much to teach their human companions--if only humans learn how to listen. In Dog Body, Dog Mind, Fox not only teaches readers to become fluent in "dog speak," he illuminates the wondrous powers that dogs possess--from their amazing ability to empathize to their mysterious ability to find their owners, sometimes across continents, when they have become separated. Fox makes a terrific case for the right of dogs and all animals to live safe, healthy lives, free from fear and harm. Only by better understanding and appreciating our dogs and by strengthening the dog-human bond, Fox explains, can we do right by them. Dog Body, Dog Mind also offers a holistic approach to companion-animal care and preventive medicine, including essential nutritional guidelines, as well as behavioral advice and training tips that will help guarantee a healthy and happy pet.Between understanding your dog's mind and learning how to best take care of his or her body, Fox makes --certain both dog and owner will enjoy a long and loving life together.
