Does your dog really feel things?
The answer - backed by decades of neuroscience and behavioural research - is yes. Dogs experience real emotions: joy, fear, sadness, grief, love, and anxiety. Not metaphors for emotion. Not behaviour patterns that merely resemble feelings. The genuine article.
Understanding Dog Emotions is the essential empathy guide for every dog owner who wants to truly understand the inner life of their dog. Oscar - a warm, expressive Yellow Labrador - walks you through the science of canine emotion and helps you learn to read what your dog is actually feeling in any situation.
From the full-body joy of a greeting to the quiet signals of anxiety you may have been missing; from the neuroscience of canine love to what grief really looks like in a dog who has lost someone - this book will transform the way you see and respond to the animal beside you.
Practical, science-backed, and written with deep empathy for both dogs and the humans who love them.
