From Publishers Weekly

Thomas's multifaceted discussion of canine life was a 28-week PW bestseller.
Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.


From Library Journal

This is a recording of Thomas's much-publicized book that purports to be a scientific study of dog behavior. The author makes much of the many hours of observation and contact she has had with this least elusive of species, as if she were the only owner of multiple dogs to have watched and noted canine habits and relationships. Additionally, Thomas's assumption that the behavior of her dogs is representative of all dogs is unwarranted. She endangers her dogs by allowing them to roam free, cross highways, and violate local laws. She often uses anthropomorphic language, and many listeners will find this either annoying or endearing. Swoosie Kurtz is an absolutely marvelous narrator, but the incidental music at times intrudes upon her talented reading. While the scientific pretensions of the author are irritating, the audiobook does contain some extremely interesting anecdotes about the lives and habits of Thomas's dogs and will likely circulate well. For most popular collections.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Should be called "A portrait of the irresponsible pet owner", Aoû 26 2003
Par Un client
This review is from: The Hidden Life Of Dogs (Paperback)
Absolutely nothing new here. Really, what could you learn from someone who thinks it is fascinating to watch her supposedly beloved dog cross the Alewife Parkway in Cambridge -- repeatedly! As she revels in allowing her "dogs to be dogs" all I could think about was: imagine being her neighbor! (which she does, in fact, imply is pure hell). Maybe if she had learned something interesting from her supposed research you could argue it was worthwhile, although I personally have trouble with the idea of potentially sacrificing great dogs to senseless research. Everything she finds enlightening has already been (better) researched and basically comes straight out of wolf research. Send in the humane society (the dog catcher has already called -- several times)!

1.0étoiles sur 5 How to Make a Buck from Cruelty, Juil 27 2002
Par Susan Shott (Chicago, IL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Hidden Life Of Dogs (Paperback)
This poetic little book celebrating cruelty to dogs has undoubtedly been quite profitable, but I wonder how many dogs' lives it has cost. Readers who don't know any better will be encouraged to let their dogs roam loose and to breed them without any thought of finding genuinely good homes for the puppies. The next time you see a smashed dog by the roadside, or a litter of pups dumped at the pound, think of this book, which has done all it can to make these things happen. The author also commits an additional act of incomprehensible cruelty: After her top female dog kills all of the puppies of another dog, the author deliberately breeds the victimized dog again, and lets her sweat out her pregnancy in an agony of fear. The author's training as an impartial anthropologist observer seems to have caused her to lose sight of her moral responsibilities. These are not wolves to be impartially observed without interference, but her own dogs or friends' dogs, whose well-being and happiness are her deepest moral responsibility. Little wonder that her dogs wanted almost nothing to do with her toward the end of the book. They must have understood how profoundly she had betrayed them.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Get those dogs away from this woman!, Mars 4 2003
Par Un client
This review is from: The Hidden Life Of Dogs (Paperback)
This little book is a riff of anthropomorphic nonsense about a group of dogs that have had the misfortune to pass through Ms. Thomas' hands over the years. This is a woman who acquires dogs "one for each member of the family," as though she were purchasing toothbrushes. She has no compunction about letting a dog left in her care wander at will over a large urban area, including crossing busy highways, "just to see where he went!" She does not believe in training dogs, but rather "lets them train themselves," and she apparently has not heard of spaying or neutering as the responsibility of a pet owner. I finished the book, but felt like throwing it against the wall more than once.
