Scholars of philosophy ponder philosophical aspects of their relationships with their pets and of canine behavior. In particular, they look at philosophical assumptions needed to train dogs, what might be going on in a dog's mind, the nature of friendship between a dog and a human, how dogs might reason, and the ethics of keeping dogs. The tone is very light, even flippant at times. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
