How To Speak Dog: Mastering the Art of Dog-Human Communication by Stanley Coren

How To Speak Dog: Mastering the Art of Dog-Human Communication by Stanley Coren. This is a book on the question of whether dogs have speech and if so what various vocalizations and postures mean. Not surprisingly the author believes that dogs do have speech. Along the way is an interesting discussion of evolution and how that has effected communication including the premise that dogs assisted humans in creating complex language. Most of the book is taken up with translating different dog behaviors for humans. Coren has an interesting perspective on dog psychology as well.
