Hugely controversial on publication, this is an insightful and characteristically entertaining survey of animal behaviour and the evolution of aggression throughout the animal world.

A delightful treasury of observations and insights into the lives of all sorts of creatures, from jackdaws and water-shrews to dogs, cats and even wolves. It is a wonderfully written introduction to the world of our furred and feathered friends!

An enlightening and entertaining account of the unique relationship between humans and their pets. It offers a delightful insight into animal and human thinking and feeling. An essential companion for all dog lovers!
