Summary

"Alexandra Horowitz makes new sense of a dog's behavior in a way that is missed when the only focus is on training. She keeps a lens on the puppy's point of view. She's there when the puppies first open their eyes, first start to recognize one another, and learn about cats and people. She also draws from the ample research in the fields of dog and human behavior to draw analogies between a dog's first year and the growing child -- and to note where they diverge. <i>The Year of the Puppy</i> is indispensable for anyone navigating their way through the frustrating, amusing, and ultimately delightful first year of a puppy's life." --Back cover
