By Sindhoor Pangal, published by HarperCollins India. Behavioural and ethological research braided with stories from a life among dogs — what a soft growl means, why eye contact is a conversation, and how street dogs develop their coping skills.
Dogs are usually thought of as obedient and loyal, but we rarely attend to their wide range of personality and their vast repertoire of communication signals. Dog Knows documents the journeys of several dogs, helping us decode their social and emotional worlds — based on behavioural and ethological research, told through engaging anecdote.
"The markedly different approach that Sindhoor offers, compared to other dog books in the market, sends out a clear and understandable message."Turid Rugaas · President, Pet Dog Trainers of Europe
