Dogs never learn human language, but they communicate extensively and comprehensively in "dog language," and not just with their own kind. Unfortunately, humans understand canine expressions—if at all—only very fragmentarily. This leads to misunderstandings and misinterpretations, often with negative effects on the harmony between humans and dogs and on everyday life as a whole. Petra Krivy and Angelika Lanzerath provide an extensive translation aid for every dog owner in this volume.
