This book is not a collection of tips on raising or caring for a four-legged friend. This is a passionate appeal to see the world from the height of a dog’s nose, mentally grow hair and let go of a tail. The book by American professor of psychology and cognitive science Alexandra Horowitz is a lyrical story about the perceptual and cognitive abilities of dogs. You will finally find out what your dog does when he is left at home alone; why she chases cyclists with gusto; what color raincoat do you prefer? does her “kisses” mean love and is she ashamed of her chewed shoes. In short, you will understand what it is like to be a dog. You won't be able to look at dogs, people, or other animals the same way again.

You don't have to be a dog lover to enjoy this exciting book, but be warned: you might become one.

The New York Times Alexandra Horowitz calls dogs the anthropologists who live among us. She... writes about dogs with the same insight and concern with which they treat us. And it was she who was invited by Sony to make the robot Aibo look like a real dog. The Guardian
