A talented speech therapist... Christina Hunger trained her puppy to use words in a meaningful way... The results speak for themselves. A wonderful book.Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation
When we are open to the idea that communicating with another species is possible... we create the space for shared language and a deep connection. Christina has provided the key that unlocks this potential for all of us.Penny Patterson, PhD, president and research director of the Gorilla Foundation and Project Koko
This delightful book is a joy to read... Christina has shown that a dog has the cognitive capability to learn to use buttons as words and to formulate meaningful sentences. She also has very practical advice on how to teach your dog to do the same. I highly recommend this book.Con Slobodchikoff, PhD, author of Chasing Doctor Dolittle: Learning the Language of Animals
