What does your dog wish you knew?
Oscar - a warm, expressive Yellow Labrador - has been trying to tell you for years. Not in words, but in the language of his body, his eyes, his tail, his constant, faithful presence. This is his chance to finally say it.
What Your Dog Wishes You Knew takes you inside the emotional world of dogs - exploring the science of canine attachment, the subtleties of dog body language, the genuine feelings that drive everything from the full-body greeting at the door to the quiet settling at your feet at the end of a long day.

What Your Dog Wishes You Knew takes you inside the emotional world of dogs - exploring the science of canine attachment, the subtleties of dog body language, the genuine feelings that drive everything from the full-body greeting at the door to the quiet settling at your feet at the end of a long day.
Written in Oscar's own voice - warm, intelligent, and deeply honest - each chapter reveals a new layer of the bond between dogs and the humans they love. You will learn to read your dog's eyes, interpret the full language of the tail, understand why your dog follows you everywhere, what separation anxiety really feels like from the inside, and the dozens of ways your dog says I love you that you may never have noticed.
This is not a training book. It is something rarer: a book that teaches you to truly see the animal who already sees you completely.
OUR PLEDGE: 10% of all proceeds from every copy of this book is donated to the welfare of stray and orphan dogs. Every purchase directly helps a dog who has no voice and no home.
