Your Dog is Your Mirror

The emotional capacity of our dogs and ourselves.

Kevin Behan

"What's fundamental in the emotional dynamic between a dog and its owner isn't the human reading the human in the animal, its the animal reading the animal in the human." K.B.

"Leaders do not organise the groups...one shared emotional mind weaves the many into one" K.B.

"Our dog is our canary in the mineshaft of emotion" K.B.

This book!! My goodness. Kevin unveils a revolutionary truth about the consciousness of dogs. The anecdotes from his life are relatable and entertaining but I have to be honest in saying that it hurt my brain trying to wrap my head around the foundational concept, it seemed so complicated and it took a second read for the simple understanding to take hold in my heart. Because that is what this book is based around. The Heart. It certainly deepened my essential understanding of dogs. I love it. In my humble opinion, he is right.
