Author Tells Us Why Pets Shape Us as Humans [AUDIO]
I talked with author David Berner today about his book "There’s a Hamster in the Dashboard: A Life in Pets. David has had many pets in his life including a spider and many dogs. He explained why different dog breeds possess different personality traits. He also said dogs have less demands on people than other people do.
The book "There's a Hamster in the Dashboard: A Life in Pets" is available at book stores near you and at amazon.com.
