Pet-lovers worldwide believe that pets have emotions.  This book is no exception to supporting that belief.  Emotion, as is any non-verbal behavior, requires understanding of expression and posture.  Dogs have expressions and postures that they use to communicate emotion, and people have expressions and postures that they use to communicate emtion.  Putting both together enable people and pets to better understand and interpret each other.  When such an understanding is reached and consistency is achieved, a seamless flow of respect and love moves freely and openly between people and their pets.  This book goes beyond helping people and pets form a tighter bond.  It indirectly indicates that through mutual respect, striving to learn from each other equally, and appreciating the diversity of how animals (people to people, people to pets, and pet to pets) express and move to reflect their thoughts, the world can be a more balanced, harmonious place.
