From the back cover:

Does your dog love you? For most of us, the answer seems obvious. But scientists have long resisted that conclusion, warning against anthropomorphizing our pets. Enter Clive Wynne, a pioneering canine behaviorist whose research is helping to usher in a new era – one in which love is at the heart of the human-canine relationship. Drawing on cutting-edge studies from Wynne’s lab and others around the world. Dog Is Love is essential reading for anyone who has ever loved a dog and experienced the wonder of being loved back.

“Clive Wynne is a thoughtful and clever canine cognition researcher; here, he tells the story of his, and his students’, particular journey through researching this intellectual puzzle: how are dogs so perfectly suited to our species? As a child, a dog’s love is certain; as a researcher, talking of dog ‘love’ is verboten. Clive gets through that and comes back to where he’s begun, with a dog happily rushing to greet him when he comes home.” – Alexandra Horowitz, New York Times best-selling author of Inside of a Dog and Our Dogs, Ourselves
