Readers come to books for strange reasons but I don't think that I've ever before picked up a book, looked at the title and being been intrigued not by what was suggested but by how anyone could think differently. ''Dogs Never Lie About Love'' is a statement of the obvious to me. I've lived with and around dogs for most of my life and I know that dogs are incapable of pretence. I've never met a dog I couldn't trust: if it doesn't like me, it will tell me so straight away. It will not attempt to trick me. I only wish that I could say the same about most of the humans I encounter.
Jeffrey Masson has three dogs, all from rescue centres. He uses his observations of his own dogs along with stories of dogs' friendship, loyalty and heroism and takes us on a trip through the emotions of a dog. You will laugh. You will cry and you will either consider your dog in a new light or you will nod knowingly. You will definitely be aware that your dog - any dog - is not a dumb animal. (My dog has just popped into the office to tell me that Royal Mail are about to make a delivery. She would have approached me differently if it was a courier and I would have been aware if it was the man who delivers our eggs.)
