The Woof Reporters can’t be the first people to wonder aloud: “Does my dog know I’ll be back in just an hour when I tell him so?” The question of just how much dogs understand stands the test of time, especially when it comes to the fur ball at the end of your bed. Alexandra Horowitz, author of the just-released book Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know is no different.
As a dog owner, she’s curious to learn why dogs do the things they do and what they know, and as a cognitive scientist, she’s curious about understanding them on another level. Horowitz explores our understanding of the dog’s world view with practical application for the people who love them. Read a few excerpts from the book at the author’s site here.
