""This is the book that all Australians who care about the dingo have been waiting for. Canis dingo is a deep and stimulating exploration of the environmental and cultural significance of the dingo, and its complex and contested place in Australian life."" -- Professor Chris Johnson * ecologist and conservation biologist, University of Tasmania * ""Canis dingo is, perhaps, this century's most important book on the relationship between humans and animals... With an accessible style, Smith invites readers to grapple with the true identity of the Australian dingo: are they the clever, enigmatic spirit of wild Australia, or a villain and pest? ... The result is a powerful new understanding of these extraordinary predators and an urgent call for coexistence that can enrich our shared world."" -- Professor Brian Hare * evolutionary anthropologist, Duke University, and New York Times bestselling author *
