What is it like to be a dog?

In her new book, Alexandra Horowitz evokes the dog's perspective by interweaving the science of dog cognition and perception with personal reflections on her own dog's behavior. Ranging from what it might be like to be able to smell sadness in humans or the passage of time; how the smallest Chihuahua can play with the most formidable Great Dane; the experience of hearing the hum of fluorescent lights; to why some dogs relentlessly pursue bicycle or ball, Inside of a Dog gives us insights into how dogs view the world. This book gives anyone who lives with, deals with, or admires dogs a new understanding of their sensory abilities, a nuanced interpretation of their behavior, and an appreciation of their minds.

Excellentay!

From the page: "Hugging our new dog, my daughter learns that no matter what the behavior, our family is forever. By Mary Zisk"

Mary Zisk is a woman to be admired.

Mom deserves a huge hug. Anna was a stinker and Mom had and still has the patience of a saint. Look at those smiles!

Of course I want to ask Anna, "Girl, have you lightened up on Mom?" (Anna got back to me and said, "Yes.")

Anna's one lucky girly to have Mary Zisk for her Mom, and Mary is lucky to have found the delight and joy in Anna's unique and very special friendship we all seem to enjoy and share with Anna as our mutual friend here at SU.
