“A fascinating glimpse into the canine world, possibly deeper and more accurate than any we have had until now” (The New York Times Book Review). Long before the Dog Whisperer, anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas revealed to readers the nature of pack dynamics, leading to a completely new understanding of dogs, their personalities, and their desires. Based on thirty years of living with and observing dogs, The Hidden Life of Dogs asks one question: What do dogs want? To find out, we must meet the pack. First there is Misha, a husky Thomas followed on her daily rounds of more than 130 square miles. Then there is Maria, who adored Misha, bore his puppies, and clearly mourned when he moved away; the brave pug Bingo and his little wife, Violet; the dingo Viva; and other colorful characters. In observing them, Thomas learned that what dogs want most of all is other dogs. Informative and captivating, The Hidden Life of Dogs will give every canine owner and canine lover great insight into dog behavior. “A wonderful book . . . Too bad dogs can’t read. They’d be fascinated. Dog people will be too.” —USA Today

I love dogs and have been lucky to have had three wonderful dogs and continue to thrive in the company of my current dog. One of my previous dogs was particularly wonderful. He was a Puli, a Hungarian sheep dog. I rescued him from a miserable kennel in Milan, Italy. He was a brilliant dog, an Alpha dog, but social and tolerant towards people, children and other dogs. And he sang much like the author describes the singing of the 2 wolves. He did this whenever I played my accordian. He would accompany me with his own interpretation of the melody, much to the amazement of friends and strangers alike. He lived 17 years, hiking, cross-country skiing, sailing and travelling as we migrated between Norway, Greece and Italy throughout his exceptionally long life. He, like the rescue dog mentioned in the story, knew and understood that we has saved him and was eternally grateful. I am most grateful to the author for sharing her views on training, that is, not to overdo it.
