"One of the best books I've ever read. Masson is a great storyteller and philosopher. He makes profound connections seem so logical. Anyone who thinks that they really love dogs should read this book."
"This book was not as good as his book, When elephant's weep--or something by that name. I did learn some new things, but I believe that there are better books about how dogs function and what they think."
