Man Meets Dog [MM0035]

1964 Penguin MMPB with just minor wear. In this wonderful book, the famous Australian zoologist, ethologist, and best-selling author, Konrad Lorenz (1903-1989), 'the man who talked with animals', enlightens and entertains us with his illustrated account of the unique relationship between humans and their pets. Displaying Lorenz's customary humanity and expert knowledge of animals, Man Meets Dog is also a deeply personal and entertaining account of his relationships with his own four-legged friends. With charming sketches on almost every page, Man Meets Dog offers a delightful insight into animal and human thinking and feeling. An essential companion for all lovers of dogs (and cats!).

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "A fun read for dog lovers. So much information. Written before DNA studies so sometimes a little dated."; "Excellent classic book by the foremost modern expert in animal behavior. A small book with the author's illustrations, easy and fascinating reading."; "A vintage book about companionship between dog and man. Lovely and sentimental."; "The richness of this book lies in the intimate interactions it portrays and from an ethologist point of view. Leaving aside some of the scientific speculations of the early '50s, it brought me tears and laughter at the same time, it was so fun to read!."
