This month, the Animal Book Club is reading Dogs Demystified: An A-to-Z Guide to All Things Canine by Marc Bekoff.
From the publisher,
“An all-encompassing and fun reference from an award-winning scientist and dog lover
Dr. Marc Bekoff is an expert at turning cutting-edge science into practical, reader-friendly information. The encyclopedic entries in this book cover everything related to dog care, dog-human relationships, and dog behavior, cognition, and emotions, making this the accessible book that every dog lover should have. In concise, readable A-through-Z entries, Bekoff covers it all, from aggression to pack formation to zoomies, and explores why dogs do what they do; exactly how to meet any dog eye-to-eye, nose-to-nose, and ear-to-ear to understand their world better; and how tuning in to a dog’s unique personality leads to happier dogs and happier human companions.”
Dogs Demystified is available from all good bookstores including Bookshop (which supports US indie bookstores) and from my Amazon store.
The book club is open to subscribers to the Companion Animal Psychology newsletter or substack. Details of how to join are included in your welcome emails.
Here’s the first sentence of the introduction to whet your appetite:
“Dogs Demystified is an easy-toread, easy-to-use, A-to-Z guide–or canidpedia–of “all things dog”.”
