For the Love of a Dog by Patricia McConnell is a must read book for all dog owners, both new and seasoned.  As a professional pet sitter, I want to learn all I can about animal behavior and this book is outstanding.

As behaviorist and zoologist Dr. Patricia McConnell tells us in this remarkable new book about emotions in dogs and in people, more and more scientists accept the premise that dogs have rich emotional lives, exhibiting a wide range of feelings including fear, anger, surprise, sadness, and love.

If you don’t have this book in your library, run out now and get it!  You won’t be sorry.
