""If Dogs Could Talk"--and indeed they do in their own special
ways--is a fascinating book about a fascinating animal. Wonderful
stories and difficult to find scientific data are nicely woven
together into an easy to read text. Anyone who wants to know more
about our 'best friends' will surely want to read Csanyi's
important book." --Marc Bekoff, University of Colorado, Boulder;
author of "Minding Animals and The Ten Trusts" (with Jane Goodall)
and editor of the "Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior"
"Vilmos Csanyi is highly respected for his research and writing as
an ethologist. In "If Dogs Could Talk," he artfully combines
scientific research and personal observations to give us an
insightful picture of the workings of the canine mind. Perhaps the
most interesting aspects of the book are the comparisons between
the mental processes of humans and dogs--two species that seem to
have much more in common than most people ever suspected.
Fascinating!" --Stanley Coren, author of "How to Speak Dog and How
Dogs Think"
"There is no friendship on this planet as intense, profound and
finally mysterious as that between dogs and humans. After reading
this erudite, charming and utterly delightful book you will
understand that bond better. Written in an accessible style and
filled with touching anecdotes from the lives of his own marvelous
dogs, it is a book based on original scientific research, much of
it conducted by Professor Csanyi himself. I cannot recommend this
book highly enough. It is a sheer delight." --Jeffrey Moussaieff
Masson, author of "Dogs Never Lie About Love"
"This splendid book is a probing scientific study of the
intelligence, emotions and feelings of animals, with theemphasis on
those of dogs. Csanyi's account, lucid and easily accessible to the
general reader, is enriched by his perceptive reports on the doings
of his two enchanting dogs, Flip and Jerry. Readers will be amazed
to learn of the complexity and depth of the canine mind. Anyone
interested in animals, and especially anyone who is fond of dogs,
will cherish this book." --George Pitcher, author of "The Dogs Who
Came to Stay"
""If Dogs Could Talk" is one of those books that have you saying,
'Yes! He's right!' after almost every paragraph. Revelation and
insight provide the most pleasurable form of reading, and "If Dogs
Could Talk" is packed with both. I recommend it very highly."
--Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of "The Hidden Life of Dogs and
The Social Lives of Dogs"
"Have you ever gazed into the eyes of your closest canine companion
and wondered, 'What are you thinking?' Well wonder no more! After
reading this book, when your dog does speak, you will be
listening!" ---Lisa E. Weiss, Special Projects Coordinator, Guide
Dog Foundation for the Blind
"Csanyi's way of thinking is that of a scientist, but he writes in
a way that nonspecialist readers, as well as his peers, can
understand. "If Dogs Could Talk" abounds with stimulating and
original insights." --Mark Ridley, lecturer, Department of Zoology,
Oxford University, and author of "Evolution and Animal
Behavior"
