If Dogs Could Talk: Exploring the Canine Mind, by Vilmos Csanyi, from Farrar, Straus & Giroux, ISBN 0865476861. Because dogs were bred over millennia to be humanity's helpmates, dog owners can learn to interpret their pet's thoughts, desires and motivations. In this book, a noted specialist in animal behavior brilliantly captures the mutual understanding between human and canine. Based in part on close observation of his own dogs, Csanyi argues that this longstanding alliance arose from the problem-solving and communications skills evident in wolves, from which all modern dogs are descended - and that our co-evolution is far from over.
