Dog Is Love

By Clive D.L. Wynne, PhD

Every dog lover knows the feeling.  The nuzzle of a dog’s nose, the warmth of them lying at our feet, even their whining when they want to get up on the bed.  It really seems like our dogs love us, too.  But for years, scientists have resisted that conclusion, warning against anthromorphizing our pets.  Enter Clive Wynne, a pioneering canine behaviorist whose research is helping to usher in a new era:  one in which love, not intelligence or sumissiveness, is at the heart of the human-canine relationship.
