Critics Review

Praise for The Dog Who Loved Too Much“Fascinating and engrossing reading for all those interested in understanding the nature of dogs in their full biological and behavioral complexity.” –Oliver Sacks, M.D., author of An Anthropologist on Mars“Dodman’s descriptions of various ‘problem dogs’ make fascinating reading, and his recommended ‘treatments’ are often unusually insightful and always quite practical.” –Stanley Coren, author of The Intelligence of Dogs“Thank God this book has been written! The Dog Who Loved Too Much is splendid–as accessible as it is profound. Dr. Dodman writes with sensitivity, a sense of fun, and an extraordinary depth of understanding as he explores the psychology of dogs. This should be compulsory reading for anyone who would own a dog.”–Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Hidden Life of Dogs
