THE NEW EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER, FULLY REVISED AND UPDATED'Causes one's dog-loving heart to flutter with astonishment and gratitude' NEW YORK TIMES What might it be like to be a dog? What's it like to be able to smell not just every bit of food in the house, but also to smell sadness in humans, or even the passage of time? Why must a cyclist be chased, and what's it like to use your mouth as a hand? In short, what is it like to experience life from two feet off the ground, gazing at humans' ankles and knees? The answers to these questions are surprising and delightful, as cognitive scientist Alexandra Horowitz explains how dogs perceive their daily world, along with that other quirky animal, the human.In this fully revised and updated edition, she draws on her latest research in the field of dog cognition to answer questions that other dog books haven't even asked, such as: What is a dog's sense of time? Do they miss me? Know when they've been bad? This book is as close as you can get to knowing what a dog is thinking without being a dog yourself.
