For years, Richard Glover has delighted his readers with dispatches from Clancy – his much-loved Kelpie – as Clancy tells his parents in the bush about the oddities of his owners’ behaviour, what life is like in the big city and how he fits into it all.
Clancy changes from being a puppy enthusiastically training his humans to being a mature activist for dogs’ rights everywhere.
In this book, Richard has compiled Clancy’s musings (including fresh missives not seen before) and debated some of Clancy’s opinions.
With delightful illustrations by cartoonist Cathy Wilcox.

DOG IS LOVE
The science of why and how your dog loves you
by Clive D L Wynne
Does your dog love you?
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 anthropomorphizing our pets.
Enter Clive Wynne, a pioneering canine behaviourist whose research is helping to usher in a new era: one in which love, not intelligence or submissiveness, is at the heart of the human-canine relationship. Drawing on cutting-edge studies from his lab and others around the world, Wynne shows that affection is the very essence of dogs, from their faces and tails to their brains, hormones, even DNA.
This scientific revolution is revealing more about dogs' unique origins, behaviour, needs and hidden depths than we ever imagined possible.
A humane, illuminating book, Dog Is Love is essential reading for anyone who has ever loved a dog and experienced the wonder of being loved back.
