Caroline Coile is a PhD scientist of Animal genetics and behavior, and Margaret Bonham is pet behaviorist and trainer, and together they've put together a humorous little book that talks about the ins and outs of dog behavior. The approach they take is to pose a question, which they then answer. Questions like "Can female dogs cock their legs?"and "Do Dogs have Friends and Enemies", as well as more serious questions like "Can a dog be scent-blind?" and "Is cocoa mulch harmful to pets?"

As I said the book is humorous, but it's a gentle humor not a laugh-out-loud and fall to your knees funny. I found the answers not only interesting but informative. My 11 year old daughter liked it as well.

On the downside, some answers aren't "authoritative" or conclusive. Not because the authors haven't done their research, but because scientists don't know.

Not a book to sit down and read from cover-to-cover, but a fun read to leave in the car or 'the little room'.

Also want to note that this is NOT a book for young children as the chapter on dog 'reproductive' includes deviant behavior by adults, and just regular Q&A that moms and dads might not want their children to read about until they are older.
