About this product

Product Information

In this beautiful account of 30 years of living with dogs, wolves, and dingoes, and of the ways their lives intertwined with her own, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas gives readers a new understanding of canines, based on thousands of hours of observation. Too bad dogs can't read. They'd be fascinated.--Noel Perrin, USA Today.

Jeffrey Moussaieff MassonThe New York Times Book ReviewA fascinating glimpse into the canine world, possibly deeper and more accurate than any we have had until now., NewsweekWhat lives Thomas's dogs seem to have led, so full of love, jealousy, passion, and fear!...Thomas has surely done something unique and wonderful., The Globe and Mail(Toronto)Keenly observed and precisely written....The most fascinating creature in THEHidden Life Of Dogs...turns out to be Marshall herself., The New York Times Book ReviewWhat do dogs want, feel, even think? A close, sympathetic observer's data make this a profoundly unsilly question., Kirkus ReviewsPopular science of the highest order: revelatory, impeccably observed, and a joy to read. A four-woof salute to Thomas and a vigorous tail-wag to boot., Los Angeles Times Book ReviewInstead of training and obedience, [Thomas] offers as an alternative a world of "trust and mutual obligation.", Chicago Sun-TimesA remarkable little book....[Thomas] brings both the rigorousness of a scientist and the imagination of a novelist to her studies., Seattle TimesDelightful...spellbinding....You'll learn more about what makes Fido tick here than just about anywhere else.

AMAZING ANTHROPOLOGICAL REVIEW OF DOGS
Elizabeth Marshall Thomas is a classically-educated anthropolgist who, one day, decided that she was curious about what her dogs did when they left the safe base of her (and their) home turf. So, she followed them on their rounds. This book is the story of where her dogs went, with whom they interacted, and some anthropological discussion of possible drive-based/sociobiology-informing 'motivations.' One of the best books I have ever read, by one of my two or three favorite authors. You, the reader here, might ask me why am I just now buying a book originally published in 1996, when I profess to adore it so much? Well, the answer is simple: I found this book so fascinating, so thought-provoking upon first reading that I have re-read it so many times over the years that, most recently, I must have fallen asleep with the book on the bed, and one of MY dogs chewed it into uselessness! Please also check out THE TRIBE OF TIGER: CATS AND THEIR CULTURE (1994) and THE SOCIAL LIVES OF DOGS (2000), by the same author, which will finally and definitively explain why dogs eat cat poo.Read full review

The Hidden Life of Dogs
This is an awesome book for those looking to understand the hearts and minds of dogs. This book brings you into their world rather than bringing them (dogs) into our world. Incredible book, worth reading for the true animal lover.
