-This book is interesting to read...Diverse types of readers can learn from this publication, including university students in biology, agriculture and perhaps veterinary medicine as a brief introduction.---Eva Baranyiova

This volume aptly demonstrates that canine behavioral biology is exquisitely interesting in and of itself.
