Papashvily, George and Helen. Dogs and People. First Edition. 1954. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good plus condition—uneven coloration to front cover. Drawings by Marguerite Kirmse.
Anyone who knows much about children will tell you that they do not like being patronized. This attractive book makes the same case for dogs. It is a modern approach but one that does not ignore science or tradition. The authors, a married couple, pivot between history, psychology, and their own experiences. The result is an intelligent and engaging book, told with humor and kindness but without sentimentality, perfect for experienced dog owners and novices alike.

“It is a rather curious fact that scientists have published more papers and presumably devoted more hours of research to proving how poorly dogs see rather how efficiently they smell.”
