While we mostly rely on words to express ourselves, dogs mainly talk to us, and each other, through a series of facial expressions, body language, and doggie behavior. This beautifully illustrated book of canine communication explains the creative ways that our dogs talk to us, whether it's tilting their head, chasing their tail or chewing your favorite shoes.
