    About this ebook

    Do Dogs Laugh? draws on the last several decades of canine research, examining everything from a dog's eyesight to its culinary preferences and sense of humor. Jake Page looks at dogs' wild brothers, the wolves, and their closer cousins, the wild or pariah dogs; explains the newest theory of how dogs were domesticated; describes a dog's development from puppyhood on; and finally ponders a dog's emotional life and intelligence. And as an added bonus, Page's own pack of dogs makes multiple cameo appearances.

      While you doubtless don’t need to be reminded of the aeons we’ve known and loved dogs, zoology has had a tendency to neglect them. “For decades in the 20th century,” Jules Howard writes, “dogs were considered un worthy of rigorous study” since focusi

      This is a brilliant little book covering the evolution of dogs from a small tree dwelling creature to the modern domestic dog.This is not a book on dog training or behavior.
    • 5/5
      Wonderfully put together and quite interesting. Facts are broken up with anecdotal stories and you are unlikely to become bored. I highly recommend.

      Nice book !
    • 5/5
      I LOVED this book! Maybe because I am a dog lover? However, this book is very informational and would be a great book to use for research in the classroom. The book explains to you where dogs came from and what different breeds are used for. For instance, I learned that Basset Hounds (which are what my dogs are) originated in England and were bred for hunting purposes. I enjoyed this book, it contained tons of great information.

      This is a great informational text providing lots of details about where dogs came from, what different types of dogs they have, characteristics of dogs, and also how to care for a dog. It uses photography to show real-life images of dogs as opposed to drawings.
