Human Whisperers

Author Guy D. Perkins has spent more than fifty years being around and observing dogs. He still learns from them every day-and also learns from humans, who are in the clan of "dogdum." To him, dogs are more interesting than many people. They fit directly into the conservation world. And from there, he gains insight into the human race. Human Whisperers explores the partnership between humans and dogs-especially sporting dogs, in the context of hunting. Using stories from his own experiences, Perkins seeks to convince you that the four-legged partner you might take hunting is more than a tool, one that isn't meant to be a yard ornament either. What's more, a canine companion is a big responsibility, with the potential for significant costs. But the right partnership with a dog can provide a human with a complete and fulfilling life. Full of anecdotes and conversational humor, this personal narrative considers the deep and long-lasting connection between dogs and humans and the lessons we can learn from one another.
