Author-Illustrator Lili Chin visited our shop May 26th and signed her new book Dogs of the World, as well as her best-selling Doggy Language and Kitty Language.

Perfect for the animal lover in your family or friend group.

A fun and practical guide to interpreting your dog's behavior, by our friend Lili Chin, an artist best known for co-creating the Warner Bros animated series "Mucha Lucha" and for her globally popular dog art, including her Dogs Of The World series.

From the publisher:

Dogs communicate with so much more than barks and tail wags, and misreading doggie body language makes life challenging for dogs and their humans.

This small but mighty book is your perfect illustrated guide to seeing and understanding the subtle visual cues used by your beloved pup to express how they’re feeling in different situations. The more we notice and listen to what our best friends are telling us, the better chance we have of helping them feel safe and happy.

• Original illustrations help you compare similar facial expressions, body language and gestures
• Interpret your dog's cues and learn how your dog uses his ears, eyes, mouth, tail and posture to communicate with you
• Spot the signals your dog is trying to give you to tell you they're stressed or conflicted

"This would be an equally appropriate book to give a dog-crazy child, an adult who was adopting a dog for the first time, or a long-time dog owner who has been having trouble understanding her dog." - Nancy Kearns, Whole Dog Journal

Lili Chin has illustrated dozens of canine-body-language charts for a number of organizations including shelters, law-enforcement training programs, and the World Health Organization. Her viral Doggie Language poster has been translated into many different languages and is used by dog rescues and shelters around the world.
