This book will help readers understand dogs better—both their own and the dogs of other owners, as well as stray dogs—so that you can establish relationships with them and learn how to care for them. The author is a candidate of biological sciences, a specialist in animal behavior and a long-time “dog person,” who will provide qualified advice on raising, training, and caring for a dog, and will simply tell you a lot of interesting things about these wonderful animals. The book will be interesting not only to those who have or want to get a dog, but also to everyone who is interested in animals, their behavior, and their relationships with people.
