About This Item
Garage brown a5: Jonathan Cape, 1997. Hardcover. Used: Acceptable. Hardback with D/J in good condition, pages browned, owners name on first page. 1997 1st edition Jonathan Cape. This is an investigation into the emotional lives of the animals that live in closest harmony with humans - dogs. To discover more about the complex but transparent nature of canine emotional responses, Masson acquired three large dogs to form a community with his own family and set about a close scrutiny of their feelings. Masson begins by asking if we ever know precisely what another person is actually feeling. It may be no harder, he argues, to discover the truth about feeling in dogs. As human beings, we restrict ourselves with language, using a term as vague as "I am depressed" to signal a highly complex set of emotions for which there is no exact equivalent. The joy that dogs exhibit when their owners return home is at least as complicated and hard to define, but the pleasure is evident, unconcealed, and without the ambivalence with which humans seem cursed. Yet for all their evident loyalty, heroism and compassion, Masson highlights research which shows that dogs live in a universe of scent a hundred million times more acutely appreciated than by man. It is a world of emotion readily available only to other dogs. - . Excess postage may be required for books over 1 kg in weight outside the EU. ISBN 0-224-04465-6 0224044656.
