Humans and dogs have enjoyed a unique relationship for thousands of years. Yet, just in the last few generations, something has changed. For canine consultant Christopher Nicolov many humans have begun to disrespect the dog's nature. A kind of unintended selfishness has lead to over-humanizing dogs and an explosion in behavioral problems. Filled with a sense of history and personal accounts from a lifetime of working with dogs, the book implores dog owners to rethink the path we are on. Told through transcribed interviews and thoughtful interpretation by journalist Jeff Gilhooly the book will engage anyone with a humane heart.
