What do dogs know? How do they think? The answers will surprise and delight you as cognitive scientist Alexandra Horowitz explains how dogs perceive their daily worlds, each other, and that other quirky animal, the human. \n\u003ci\u003eInside of a Dog\u003c\/i\u003e is a fresh look at the world of dogs--from the dog's point of view. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn clear, crisp prose, Horowitz introduces the reader to dogs' perceptual and cognitive abilities and then draws a picture of what it might be like to be a dog. What's it like to be able to smell not just every bit of open food in the house but also to smell human emotions and even the passage of time? What is it like to have such good hearing that they notice the bodily vibrations of insects and the hum of a fluorescent light? Horowitz's engaging narrative allows us to replace our urge to anthropomorphize dogs with a true understanding of the canine experience. What's it like to use your mouth as a hand? How does a tiny dog manage to play successfully with a Great Dane? Why must a person on a bicycle be chased? \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis fully revised and updated edition also reflects the latest findings on canine perception, dogs' understanding of our emotions and of our language, and the evolving story of domestication. Some discoveries are not only informative but curiously amusing, such as dogs' asymmetrical nostril use and their alignment with the earth's magnetic field when pooing. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMuch more than a scientific exploration; \n\u003ci\u003eInside of a Dog\u003c\/i\u003e is a love letter to dogs, filled with personal observations and practical advice for people who live with dogs.
