"The One Dog and the Others "is an informative book that is sure to thrill any dog lover. Author Frances E Slaughter notes that each dog owner is likely to secretly question the superiority of his own breed even in light of certain qualities lacking in it. She writes to disavow this notion and states, "As man advances in civilization and grows more restrained in the habits and manners of his life, his mind develops, and one of the first signs of his progress is his respect for life as such. The dog, as his constant companion, feels most, in the realm of animal life, the change in his master's outlook. He is treated with ever increasing gentleness and comprehension. For as one sign of a mind of low type, or of a low order of development is an incapacity for sympathy with an intelligence either lower or higher than its own, so with the expanding powers of man's mind he is able more and more to enter into the workings of his dog's mind."
