McKenna, Martin

Martin McKenna is the author of the bestselling THE DOG MAN (ABC Books). He learned about dog behaviour in a very unusual way - as a boy growing up in Limerick, Ireland, he escaped from family violence by running away from home and living in an abandoned barn with a pack of stray dogs. By observing these street dogs at such close quarters, he learned the unique psychology and language shared by dogs all over the world. Now he is passionate about helping dogs and humans to communicate more successfully with each other. He lives on the far north coast of New South Wales with his wife, children and an assortment of dogs.;
