I loved this book - I found it fascinating and I think anyone like me, with a massive interest in how animals work, and how we can help them, will also find this fascinating.

I did however find a few bits a bit boring, if that is the right word, for my level of knowledge about this subject, I did find quite a few bits where I started to drift because I couldn't fully understand the details. But, the whole book in general wasn't boring at all and I learnt a lot. About animals, about the brain, about organisations set up around the world to help animals, even about animals that I thought I already knew quite a lot about and that was what I was hoping for when I read this book.

There's no straight answer to what it's like to be a dog, and I think the title is rather misleading, but I agree with it, because what Gregory has been doing all equals up to one thing, what it's like to be a dog. To understand dogs, and many other animals, in ways we never have before. To give them a voice, a voice that they need so badly right now.

It may be a bit over the top to say this, I don't think so, but when I finished this book, the first thing I felt was proud. Proud that there's people out there that are still, and will for as long as they can, fighting for the animals. People who know that animals need to be as equal as us and it's honestly so heartwarming to know that.

I hope that this book gets read by everyone, so that people can learn to understand why we need to help animals before it's too late.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
