Photos: UK edition of Dogs of the World book, Harvey, a cream colored tripawd dog lying with the book opened to "North African Village Dogs". His portrait is on this page. Plus reviews of DOGS OF THR WORLD book by an anthrozoologist, artist, actor, and gun dog photographer-historian.
I still have stuff to process from the weekend's Animal Training retreat in VT. (Mentally drafting a blog post...will share later!) In the meantime, these reviews of🐕DOGS OF THE WORLD mean so much to me. bit.ly/dogsofthewor...

Modern science confirms it: Dogs use their humans as a “secure base,” just like children do with parents. Ainsworth’s attachment test applies to dogs too. #AnimalBehavior #AttachmentTheory
