As an unabashed dog lover Alexandra Horowitz is naturally curious about what her dog thinks & what she knows As a cognitive scientist she is intent on understanding the minds of animals who cannot say what they know or feel 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 & cognitive abilities -- & 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 & the insights she uncovered from studying her own dog Pumpernickel allowed her to understand her dog better & appreciate her more through that understanding The reader will be able to do the same with their own dog Inside of a Dogwill allow dog owners to look at their pets' behaviour in a different & revealing light enabling them to understand their dogs & enjoy their relationship even more
