They might be our best friends, but we often have no idea what they are thinking. Peer inside the fascinating world of the mind of the dog with associate professor of psychology Ellen Furlong of Illinois Wesleyan University.

Ever wonder how the same nose that always manages to find the worst-smelling place in the park to roll around can also be trained to sniff out cancer, bombs, and even endangered plants and animals? As you embark on a penetrating look at the canine brain, you’ll break down the unique ways dogs think and feel and investigate how they see the world around them - as well as how they smell it!

Professor Furlong will unpack the evolution and domestication of dogs and explain why talking about how “smart” dogs are misses the point. She’ll dig into the special relationship dogs have with humans, both illuminating where it stemmed from and examining what dogs actually think of us.

These insights will help you gain a much deeper understanding of and appreciation for your canine companion, and, by examining how dogs acted in the past, you might better grasp your modern dog’s perplexing, quirky behaviors. A better comprehension of your dog’s cognition, perception, and social relationships will help you build a stronger bond as well as improve your ability to work with your pup.

If you’ve ever shaken your head at your puzzling pup while wondering “Why in the world does he do that?” this is your chance to get answers as you go inside the mind of your furry best friend.

Wonderful meld of subject matter and method of delivery

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

Audible is the ideal medium for a book like this. You can listen with ease while doing laundry, jogging, making lunch, or driving to work. The research on dog intelligence and emotions is fascinating, and the author demonstrates her love of dogs as well as her energetic enthusiasm for scientific experimentation in every chapter. This is a wonderful mix: the subject of dogs and the audio delivery work so well together.

Too simplistic

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 30, 2020

Author started with things most dog owners know and made it worse with numerous examples of what dog owners already know. We skipped into hour three hoping it would get into advanced knowledge but it never delivered scientific research into canine behavior. Maybe this would be good for a student wanting to do report about dogs, but cannot recommend to anyone that has one.

Dogs are cool!

I learned a lot about dogs. It was fun to listen to!

Perhaps for grade schoolers who do not live with dogs

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 2, 2020

After ten minutes of a simplistic introduction comparing apples and oranges (no kidding), it did not get much better. I gave up. I already knew from living with a dog what the two first "lectures" explained. Waste of time.
