Tail Talk
What are dogs really trying to tell us? Is that smile a sign of happiness or nervousness? Is she yawning because she's
tired or stressed? Such quizzical gestures and other canine conundrums are explained in this smart photographic primer. A pup's ears, eyes, head, mouth and teeth, back and legs, and tail all work in concert to convey his mood. This handy guide lays out the canine body-language alphabet, letter by letter, then neatly illustrates the various body parts "speaking" together. A refreshing approach to understanding man's best friend, this expert-approved guide is indispensable for every dog owner.

Sophie Collins is a writer, editor, and pet lover. She and her talkative terrier live in the south of England.

Dr. Karen L. Overall is a veterinarian and former director of an animal behavior clinic. She lives in Pennsylvania.
