Dogs enrich our lives and make us better people: What many dog lovers feel in their interactions with these animals is illuminated by dog expert Kurt Kotrschal in his new book from a scientific perspective with the latest findings and surprising insights.
Through many everyday examples, Kurt Kotrschal shows what our partners contribute to our psyche, our health, and our well-being: "Why Dogs Make Us Better People" is the new standard work for understanding dogs better - and also ourselves.
In addition, the internationally recognized wolf researcher and co-founder of the Wolf Science Center shares his insights on the "provocative animal" wolf in "The Wolf and Us: How It Became Our First Pet and Why Its Return Isn't a Threat." Few relationships are as ambivalent as that between wolf and human. Today, its return is associated with conflicts and heated debates about danger and culling.
All questions to the renowned behavior researcher about what one has always wanted to know about dogs and wolves are welcome on this evening.
