The nuzzle of a dog’s nose, the warmth of them lying at our feet, even their whining when they want to get up on the bed. It really seems like our dogs love us, too. But for years, scientists have resisted that conclusion, warning against anthropomorphizing our pets. Enter Clive Wynne, a pioneering canine behaviorist whose research is helping to usher in a new era in animal psychology: one in which love, not intelligence or submissiveness, is at the heart of the human-canine relationship. Drawing on cutting-edge studies from his lab and others around the world, Wynne shows that affection is the very essence of dogs, from their faces and tails to their brains, hormones, even DNA. This scientific revolution in canine science is revealing more about dogs’ unique origins, behavior, needs, and hidden depths than we ever imagined possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA humane, illuminating book, Dog Is Love is essential reading for anyone who has ever loved a dog—and experienced the wonder of being loved back.\u003cp\u003eThis illuminating book on dog psychology reveals the science behind that bond: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA New Understanding of Canine Behavior:\u003c\/b\u003e Go beyond anthropomorphism with cutting-edge studies from neuroscience and genetics that reveal what’s really happening in your dog’s brain, hormones, and even DNA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Heart of the Human-Canine Relationship:\u003c\/b\u003e Discover why affection, not intelligence or submissiveness, is the true essence of dogs and the key to the unique bond you share.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOrigins of Interspecies Affection:\u003c\/b\u003e Trace the revolutionary science revealing more about dogs’ unique origins, needs, and hidden depths than we ever imagined possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBetter Human-Animal Relationships:\u003c\/b\u003e Learn how to better reciprocate your dog’s affection with a humane guide that is essential reading for anyone who has experienced the wonder of being loved back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“Lively and fascinating, \u003cem\u003eDog Is Love\u003c\/em\u003e reveals a simple and yet enormously profound insight: Dogs are unique because they love us.
