No matter how cushy their lives, dogs live on our terms. They compromise their freedom and instinctual pleasure, as well as their innate strategies for coping with stress and anxiety, in exchange for the love, comfort, and care they get from us. But it is possible to let dogs be dogs without wreaking havoc on our lives, as biologist Marc Bekoff and bioethicist Jessica Pierce show in this fascinating book. They begin by illuminating the true nature of dogs and helping us "walk in their paws". 

Наверное, нет ни одного владельца собаки, который мог бы похвастаться тем, что его питомец никогда и ничего съестного не подбирает с земли. Хозяева перебирают корма и модели намордников, но проблема не уходит — оставшись без присмотра, их любимец так и норовит отыскать ароматный, с его точки зрения, кусочек и полакомиться им, а некоторые собаки и вовсе выходят на прогулку как будто только для этого. И ладно бы такое поведение ограничивалось периодическим несварением, но ведь оно может стоить собаке жизни.
