Zusatztext "An enjoyable book for dog lovers." Informationen zum Autor Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson is the author of twenty-five books, including the New York Times bestselling When Elephants Weep and Dogs Never Lie About Love , as well as The Pig Who Sang to the Moon , The Face on Your Plate , and The Assault on Truth . An American, he lives in New Zealand. Klappentext There is something very special in our bond with dogs. No other animals love us in quite the same way as dogs love us. And it is mutual.

In The Dog Who Couldn’t Stop Loving , Masson considers the far-reaching consequences of the coevolution of dogs and humans with wisdom, insight, and a brilliant analysis of recent scientific findings, delivering a compelling, provocative book that will change the way we think about love and our canine companions.
