This book is brilliant, I could not put it down once I started reading it! The writing style is so easy to read, it has lovely flow and tempo. The authors accounts are so relatable and insightful. It is a truly inspiring book, a real eye-opener. I wish there was more to read! It has really changed how I view dogs and I hope all pet parents and animal enthusiasts read it. 10\10.

This book sheds light on how to pet dog on their natural instinct rather than command or reward training 😍

Nice read

As a dog lover and one who wants to understand more about how dogs communicate there’s a lot to be learnt from this book. The book truly makes one introspect on how to develop a companionship with our dogs based on mutual respect. With the backdrop of the author’s journey of understanding her dogs better in order to offer them a better quality of life, she also educates us, using personal observation backed by scientific study and research. Her insight into the canine psyche is easy to understand, practical and logical. The author’s use of personal anecdotes, vivid examples of her own dogs and Streeties, as well as examples of human psychology make the book very relatable. “Dog Knows” has now been added to my list of all time favourite books. I would also like to add that I found the book cover stunning and visually engaging with the eye of the dog resembling the all too familiar glint/sparkle we see in our dog’s eyes. I would highly recommend this book to all animal lovers.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it is how powerless we are in the face of nature's wrath. In her book, through in-depth research on Indian streeties, Sindhoor demonstrates how animals communicate with us all the time, if only we knew how to listen. The book opens up the fascinating world of dog psychology and shows that it's as complex as its human counterpart. Lastly, it drives home so well the point that as humans, we need to develop more respect and empathy for the natural world, and learn to co-exist peacefully with it, instead of riding roughshod over it.

A must-buy for pet parents. Through the author's personal journey in learning about dogs and navigating her difficult experiences, this book explains how dogs think, perceive and understand things and how we can change our actions to communicate better with them. Many common misconceptions and training practices are examined from a physical, psychological and physiological point of view.

This book is very insightful. So many things very important bits of information that I plan to use to understand my dogs better, a species I have co- habited with for over 20 years and completely miss read. A must have for every dog parent that wants to have a deeper connection with their dog babies and really improve the quality of their lives. And Sindhoor’s writing is so personal, peppered with examples that it doesn’t feel heavy to read. I got through it in 1 weekend!

Sindhoor's book is amazing in that it caters to a pet parent as well as a dog professional. Every experience and anecdote leaves you feeling happy or moved. Many of the questions that Sindhoor happens to ask herself as a dog parent leaves you introspecting your own way of being a parent and a caregiver to your companion animal. As a professional too, I think the book has a lot of research backing the information and is definitely recommended for Canine Ethology enthusiasts. While personal stories and science is definitely the key points of this book, the highlight is how Sindhoor talks about the famous street dogs or streeties of Bangalore. It was about time that that amazing creatures got the right representation!
