Sobre este artículo

London England: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1994. What do dogs want? In this beautiful account of thirty years of living with dogs, wolves and dingoes, and of the ways their lives intertwined with her own, the author brings us a completely new understanding of dogs. It is a tender, intimate yet absolutely unsentimental chronicle of the lives of a dozen dogs, based on thousands of hours of close observation. Like an anthropologist studying a tribe, the author came to understand the lives her dogs led, their emotions, desires, hierarchies, and sometimes their dreams. The dogs themselves were her guides, beginning with Misha, a husky who nightly roamed a suburban territory of 160 square miles, and Maria, his true and faithful love, who bore his first puppies and then, after he moved away with new owners, gave herself indifferently to any adequate passerby. As the author watched, the dogs, of differing breeds, abilities and temperaments, surreptitiously formed themselves into the domestic equivalent of a wolf pack, and settled into a daily life unregulated by human rules. This is no training manual or abstract essay. Rather, like the great animal studies by writers such as Jane Goodall, it is an insight into a species different from our own, but in many respects surprisingly the same. Read it, and you will learn more about how dogs think, and what dogs want, than you would ever have believed...... Reprint. Cloth. Very Good/Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardback.

Sinopsis

Long before the Dog Whisperer, anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas revealed to readers the nature of pack dynamics, leading to a completely new understanding of dogs and their desires.  In this fascinating account, based on thirty years of living with and observing dogs, we meet Misha, a friend’s husky, whom Thomas followed on his daily rounds of more than 130 square miles, and who ultimately provided the simple and surprising answer to the question What do dogs want most? Not food, not sex, but other dogs. We also meet Maria, who adored Misha, bore his puppies, and clearly mourned when he moved away; the brave pug Bingo and his little wife, Violet; the dingo Viva; and the remaining dogs and pups that constitute the pack. “Instead of training and obedience, [Thomas] offers as an alternative a world of ‘trust and mutual obligation’” ( Los Angeles Times Book Review ). When it was first published in hardcover, The Hidden Life of Dogs spent over a year on the New York Times Bestseller list. This Mariner paperback edition will include a new afterword by the author.
