Inside of a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz (12/30)

What Dogs See, Smell, and Know.

This is a fresh look at the world of dogs — from the dog’s point of view. The book introduces the reader to the science of the dog — their perceptual and cognitive abilities — and uses that introduction to draw a picture of what it might be like to bea dog. It answers questions no other dog book can — such as: What is a dog’s sense of time? Does she miss me? Want friends? Know when she’s been bad? Horowitz’s journey, and the insights she uncovered from studying her own dog, Pumpernickel, allowed her to understand her dog better, and appreciate her more through that understanding. The reader will be able to do the same with their own dog.
