Everyone knows: a dog is man's best friend. These intelligent animals have not only served humans since ancient times, but have also been their loyal companions, and their devotion is legendary. People with dogs are very lucky—it's a great joy to have such a friend. But how can you repay your pet in kind and become their best friend?

In her new book, animal psychologist Sasha Raush will share everything that dog owners and those dreaming of getting a puppy need to know. Where dogs originated and how their ancestors influence their behavior today, what you need to know for safe and enjoyable walks, why dogs love to roll in the mud and pick up all sorts of nasty things on the street, how they see the world and how this influences their play preferences, what dogs want to tell us with their different barks, and even how to properly hug your pet to express your love—we'll learn all this in 'Secrets of Dogs.'
