Two years after his best-selling When Elephants Weep (LJ 5/15/95), controversial psychoanalyst Masson provides us with another blockbuster about the emotional lives of animals. Using "evidence" that he admits is decidedly anecdotal and speculative, Masson offers a thoroughly engaging discussion of what it means to think and feel as dogs do. Masson looks at the foundation of the human-dog bond, love, loyalty, heroism, submission, dominance, gratitude, fear, loneliness, dignity, humiliation, disappointment, sadness, and aggression. He also provides insightful chapters on dogs at work and at play, dog dreams, and dogs vs. cats. Whether or not you agree with Masson's conclusions, he is a skilled philosopher and accomplished writer. An extensive chapter-by-chapter bibliography is included, as well as the promise of a thorough index.
