The Wolf in the Parlor
How the Dog Stole a Piece of Your Brain
“Read this book and it will change the way you see dogs, and people. Jon Franklin, the dean of science writers, is doing more than reporting here, he is making an argument, a surprising and learned one, about the evolution of modern society. It is a story of deep co-dependence, a theory informed by science, by love, and by a ripening personal appreciation of mutual need. And, oh yes, it may make you want to get a standard poodle” —Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down
