Publisher's Synopsis

The perfect gift for dog lovers and readers of Inside of a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz-this New York Times bestseller offers mesmerizing insights into the thoughts and lives of our smartest and most beloved pets.

Does your dog feel guilt? Is she pretending she can't hear you? Does she want affection-or just your sandwich? In their New York Times bestselling book Th-e Genius of Dogs, husband and wife team Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods lay out landmark discoveries from the Duke Canine Cognition Center and other research facilities around the world to reveal how your dog thinks and how we humans can have even deeper relationships with our best four-legged friends.

Breakthroughs in cognitive science have proven dogs have a kind of genius for getting along with people that is unique in the animal kingdom. This dog genius revolution is transforming how we live and work with dogs of all breeds, and what it means for you in your daily life with your canine friend.
