There's a tiny amount of domesticated wolf in all of us. The relationship between canids and humans goes back nearly 40,000 years, when dogs split away from wolves. With our dogs, we have traveled the ancient track from hunter-gatherers to modern humans. However, this track now seems to offer an uncertain future for humankind and society.

Learning from Dogs shows how and why now, more than ever, we humans need to learn from our dogs. At times the book relates personal stories through autobiography, diary, and blog entries. Other times it reinforces a point with speculative and imaginative fictional narrative. Throughout the book, there is a foundation about the history of wolves, dogs, and humans, as the author injects factual research to assist us to more fully understand the importance of this unique relationship.

With just the right blend of humor, story-telling, perception, compassion, and insight, the author shares his unusual perspective and how he came to share what he's learned through a lifetime of observation and interaction with dogs.

Readers who love dogs, or any animals, will connect with this book and become more fully aware of why our animal friends are valuable to learn from to help us heal the challenges of the 21st century. Occasionally launching into intellectual tangents that will provide intrigue and inspiration for the heart and soul, the book ultimately returns to the central thesis: "What we can (and should) learn from dogs."

Pat Shipman, retired adjunct professor of anthropology at The Pennsylvania State University, and the author of The Animal Connection and The invaders; How Humans and Their Dogs Drove Neanderthals to Extinction, described the book as, "both wise and thoughtful. It also includes some of the best writing about the intimate and special relationship between dogs and humans I have ever read."

Not completly indestructible but good buy
Style: Black chew toys for dogs, Style: Black chew toys for dogs
Dogs loved this. I have 5 pot mixed and they all have enjoyed this. I ordered two more after they enjoyed the first one so much. So far my dogs have not been as destructive as they have been in the past (especially on my couches). I have been home more recently so it could be a combination, but I think the bones have been helpful. Sturdier than the red Kong toys, but not as indestructible as the black kongs. As durable or more than the ruff dawg balls, and much more affordable than all of those. Also, some of my dogs are more selective on toys, but this one was an immediate hit, even with my dog that has shown now interest in ANY chew toy. We even walked through pet smart one day, and i tried to get him to play with every toy on the shelf- and he was not impressed. I even showed him the scented toys that cost $40-50 each. Happy that he took to this immediately. Keep an eye out. I heard one of my dogs hacking and coughing from the other room, but by the time I heard it and got to the room, it wasn’t clear what he was choking on. I had three of these bones in the room at the time, but there was also food and such around so hard to tell. Recommend supervising your dog with the toy in the beginning at least.

Lasts with a pitbull
Style: Black chew toys for dogs
Good for very aggressive chewers. Even large, strong jawed dogs. My 70lb pitbull loves them and they usually last 6 months before we have to replace (because she's chewed slowly down the ends) Would recomment!

Great, but didn’t last
Style: Black chew toys for dogs, Style: Black chew toys for dogs
I have a 70 pound pitbull and he absolutely loves this toy. Unfortunately, within a couple of hours this toy started to crumble. Now, there are large crumbs breaking off that he started eating, so we have to toss it. He’s only had this for two weeks.
