The relationship between canids and humans goes back nearly 40,000 years, when dogs split away from wolves. With our dogs, we have traveled the ancient track from hunter-gatherers to modern humans. However, this track now seems to offer an uncertain future for humankind and society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLearning from Dogs shows how and why now, more than ever, we humans need to learn from our dogs. At times the book relates personal stories through autobiography, diary, and blog entries. Other times it reinforces a point with speculative and imaginative fictional narrative. Throughout the book, there is a foundation about the history of wolves, dogs, and humans, as the author injects factual research to assist us to more fully understand the importance of this unique relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith just the right blend of humor, story-telling, perception, compassion, and insight, the author shares his unusual perspective and how he came to share what he's learned through a lifetime of observation and interaction with dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReaders who love dogs, or any animals, will connect with this book and become more fully aware of why our animal friends are valuable to learn from to help us heal the challenges of the 21st century. Occasionally launching into intellectual tangents that will provide intrigue and inspiration for the heart and soul, the book ultimately returns to the central thesis: \"What we can (and should) learn from dogs.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePat Shipman, retired adjunct professor of anthropology at The Pennsylvania State University, and the author of \u003cem\u003eThe Animal Connection\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe invaders; How Humans and Their Dogs Drove Neanderthals to Extinction, \u003c\/em\u003e described the book as, \"both wise and thoughtful.
