After years of having a dog, you know him. You know the meaning of his snuffs and grunts and barks. Every twitch of the ears is a question or statement, every wag of the tail is an exclamation.
In Robert R. McCammon's "Boy's Life," the intricate bond between a dog and its owner is beautifully illustrated. After spending years together, the owner learns to interpret the dog's distinct sounds and movements. Each snort and bark becomes a form of communication, showcasing the depth of their relationship.
The dog's body language also conveys meaning; a twitching ear signifies curiosity or inquiry, while a wagging tail serves as a vibrant expression of joy. This highlights not only the unique understanding between pets and their owners but also the profound emotional connection they share over time.
