Animals deserve to live a life free from unnecessary fear. Yet we often cannot understand what causes their anxieties. For over fifty years, Temple Grandin has taught farmers and pet owners to recognize what alarms their animals and, most importantly, what steps to take to reduce or eliminate those fears.
This book covers the full range of animal fear, from a cat hiding from a stranger to a dog destroying the house when separated from its owner, or a horse bucking its rider and fleeing when encountering a strange object.Temple Grandin is uniquely positioned to take on this task. To understand animals, you need to think without human words, and Temple's mind is sensory-based; she thinks in pictures, not in words. This unique ability allows her to see the world as animals perceive it. In this book, she shares her insight and wisdom with all those who love and care for animals.
Dr. Temple Grandin has written many books, including Animals in Translation, Animals Make Us Human, and Visual Thinking, all of which are New York Times bestsellers.
