The bestselling book that asks what dogs know and how they think. The answers will surprise and delight you as Alexandra Horowitz, a cognitive scientist, explains how dogs perceive their daily worlds, each other, and that other quirky animal, the human.
Temple Grandin meets Stephen Pinker in this engaging and informative look at what goes on inside the minds of dogsâfrom a cognitive scientist with a background at The New Yorker.
With more than 52 million pet dogs in America today, itâs clear we are a nation of unabashed dog-lovers. Yet the relationship between dogs and humans remains a fascinating mystery, as no one really knows what goes on in the canine mind. Now, in Inside of a Dog, Alexandra Horowitz fuses her perspectives as both scientist and dog-owner to deliver a fresh look at the world of dogsâas seen from the animalâs point of view. Inspired by her years of living with her own dog, Pumpernickel, who was a constant source of delight and mystery, Horowitzâs mind became filled with questions and ideas. In crisp, clear prose, she draws on her research in the field of dog cognition to give readers a sense of a dogâs perceptual and cognitive abilitiesâand paints a picture of what the canine experience is like. Horowitzâs own scientific journey, and the insights she uncovered, allowed her to understand her dog better and appreciate her more.
Containing up-to-the minute research and providing many moments of dog-behavior recognition, this lively and absorbing book helps dog owners to see their best friendâs behavior in a different, and revealing light, allowing them to understand their pets and enjoy their company even more.
