When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
3.0
I wasn’t sure what I was going to get myself into when I saw this book when it was donated to my Little Free Library Shed. I love the book title, and I love the book cover picture.
Personally, I have always felt such a strong connection about how animals feel – believing that they do indeed have feelings. I have witnessed this with my dogs. Their sensitivity to me. Their reactions to how I am doing, and even when something has happened to one of their pack members. So, I was curious what the author might say.
His co-author is a science writer. Does that also give him as an author some credibility? I don’t know that his credentials necessarily relate to his subject matter (Ph.D. in Sanskrit), but, do mine when I speak of my dogs? I have a Master’s degree in Education with an emphasis on Leadership. Do you think that will matter to my dogs?
