Your Dog Is Your Mirror: The Emotional Capacity of Our Dogs

Your Dog Is Your Mirror: The Emotional Capacity of Our Dogs and Ourselves

In Your Dog Is Your Mirror, dog trainer Kevin Behan proposes a radical new model for understanding canine behavior: a dogâ€™s behavior and emotion, indeed its very cognition, are driven by our emotion. The dog doesnâ€™t respond to what the owner thinks, says, or does; it responds to what the owner feels. And in this way, dogs can actually put people back in touch with their own emotions. Behan demonstrates that dogs and humans are connected more profoundly than has ever been imagined; by heart; and that this approach to dog cognition can help us understand many of dogsâ€™ most inscrutable behaviors. This groundbreaking, provocative book opens the door to a whole new understanding between species, and perhaps a whole new understanding of ourselves.
