For over 100 years a chasm has separated animal lovers-who know that their dog, cat, horse or parrot have complex emotional livesand scientists, to whom attributing any emotions to animals has been equivalent to heresy. And while a groundsweel among a new generation of scientists has begun chipping away at this traditional taboo, and animal lovers eagerly consume whatever they can find about the subject, no one book has yet gathered all the available information into an engaging and authoritative portrait of animals'emotional lives. Not, that is, until now.
