Dog Body, Dog Mind cover

With extraordinary insight and vision, veterinarian and animal behaviorist Dr. Fox explores the minds and hearts of dogs. Dogs, and all animals, have much to teach their human companions, if only humans knew how to listen. In Dog Body/Dog Mind, Fox seeks to enhance readers’ understanding and communication with their canine companions. He helps readers become more fluent in “dog speak,” and to understand what dogs feel, think, and want, strengthening the dog-human bond. Better communication leads to happier dogs and people. Fox also offers a holistic approach to companion animal care and preventive medicine, as well as behavioral advice and training tips that will help guarantee a healthy and happy animal.

“Dog Body, Dog Mind is the book that dog lovers will find themselves turning to again and again for advice about their animal companion's care. The reader learns about Dr. Fox's own history of decades spent working with and caring for animals. He also shares his insights about the ability of dogs to contribute to our own spiritual development. His caring, empathy, and a lifetime's worth of knowledge shine through every page.”--Emilie Buchwald, publisher, The Gryphon Press “Dr.Michael Fox is a man who loves and respects the animals, and he isn't afraid to speak out on their behalf. He knows that animals have souls and their own spiritual paths. He knows that animals are far more than most of us think they are; they are not less than humans. Michael respects the animals, and believes in loving kindness to all beings. This book is food for the soul, nourishment for the mind, and healing for the body. A must read for animal lovers everywhere.”--Catherine O'Driscoll, Director, Canine Health Concern, UK. "In this timely and important book, Dr. Michael W. Fox looks at the mind/body connection in a familiar and well-loved species. An emminently qualified animal behaviourist, he does a good job of blending the philosophical with the practical. The book covers a lot of ground, and will make a great read for anyone who loves dogs (or cats) and wants to know and relate to them better."-- Dr. Paul McCutcheon, pioneering holistic veterinarian.
