Not food, not sex, but other dogs. We also meet Maria, who adored Misha, bore his puppies, and clearly mourned when he moved away; the brave pug Bingo and his little wife, Violet; the dingo Viva; and the remaining dogs and pups that constitute the pack.\u003cbr\u003e\"Instead of training and obedience, [Thomas] offers as an alternative a world of 'trust and mutual obligation'\" (\u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e).
