Summary

"A dog doing a four-legged dance while you clip on his leash may seem enthusiastic to the point of absurdity, but he's got the right idea. A dog out in the wide world doesn't know how to be unhappy or out of step with what the present moment might bring. Or so author John Zeaman discovers in this compelling and powerful meditation on the simple wisdom derived from dogs and walking with them" --Dust cover flap
