Trade Review"I greatly enjoyed this remarkable book, not only for it's captivating narrative, but also for fascinating information which will surprise even those who love animals and are attuned to the natural world. Jeffrey Masson writes amazing books, and this one is true to form. It's excellent." -- Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Hidden Life of Dogs "In his story of Benjy, the dog who couldn't stop loving, Masson does a thought-provoking job of leveling the playing field between us and other species while also posing fascinating questions about the emotional makeup of our closest companion in the animal kingdom, our dogs." -- Ted Kerasote, author of Merle's Door "Masson is at his most personal and appealing in this book, especially when he writes about Benjy." -- Publishers Weekly "An enjoyable book for dog lovers." -- Kirkus Reviews
