Before dogs, cats and mice became natural enemies, they were best of friends, growing up in a cave like brothers. However, when the dog is caught in the human's trap, the three leave their cave to live with the human's family. Having been forewarned, the dog makes the human write a contract, promising that he will take care of the dog when he is old and can no longer herd the human's sheep. The dog entrusts the contract to the cat, who entrusts it to the mouse, and here is where the trouble starts. A tragicomic tale, Why the Dog Chases the Cat and the Cat Chases the Mouse, explains the age-old antipathy among the species, and reminds us of all that is lost when promises are broken. Finally, K.L. Vaniko solves the mystery "Why the Dog Chases the Cat and the Cat Chases the Mouse," which for thousands of years has been a big puzzle.

The Other End of the Leash

Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0307489183
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
