In this beautiful account, based on 30 years of living with and observing dogs, wolves, and dingoes, the author brings us a completely new understanding of dogs. We meet Misha, a friend's husky, whom the author followed on his daily rounds of over 130 square miles in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and who ultimately provided the simple and surprising answer to the question What do dogs want most? Not food, not sex, but other dogs. We also meet Maria, who adored Misha, bore his puppies, and clearly mourned when he moved away; Bingo, a brave, asthmatic pug; and many more fascinating individuals in this unforgettable chronicle that brims with insight and respect.
