A collaboration by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, whose earlier books explored animal emotions, and nature photographer Art Wolfe, Dogs Make us Human is an unabashed homage to man’s best friend. Wolfe snapped 100 photos of dogs from all over the globe, and some of the dearest shots are the most unlikely: the Ethiopian babe wrapped in his mother’s robe, clutching a puppy, or the Indian sadhu and his devoted dog, companions despite the culture’s traditional scorn for canines. A chihuahua in his little leathers in a gay pride parade shares common ground with a Hindu holy man’s terrier sporting a beaded collar and a bindi on her forehead. Herding dogs, guide dogs, pampered dogs with painted nails, Mongolian wolf-chasing dogs, a California K-9 explosive-sniffing dog.... This collection invites reading and browsing and many return visits by dog lovers, photography fans, and anyone interested in human/pet relationships. Even a cat person will enjoy this book! --Cheryl Krocker McKeon, bookseller
