"Groundbreaking
research
that
shows
that
dog
emotions
are
similar
to
people's.
Training
dogs
to
voluntarily
lie
still
in
the
MRI
brain
scanner
was
a
brilliant
way
to
explore
the
workings
of
their
brains.
Dog
lovers
and
neuroscientists
should
both
read
this
important
book."
—Temple
Grandin,

ofAnimals

TranslationandAnimals
Make
us
Human"In
this
big-hearted
book,
Gregory
Berns
applies
cutting-edge
science
to
questions
that
have
never
been
so
timely:
How
do
other
animals
perceive
their
worlds?
How
do
they
experience
emotions?
How
does
their
language
work?What
It's
Like
to
Be
a
Dogis
a
delightful,
illuminating
look
at
the
minds
and
lives
of
our
fellow
creatures."

"Berns
also
peeks
into
the
gray
matter
of
dolphins,
sea
lions,
and
Tasmanian
devils,
bolstering
his
contention
that
both
four-footed
and
sea-dwelling
mammals
think
and
feel
much
as
we
do,
a
sentiment
animal
lovers
and
fans
of
books
by

Goodall,

and

Mason
will
heartily
embrace."
—Booklist"The
author
explains
that
his
purpose
in
writing
this
book
is
'to
raise
awareness
of
the
mental
lives
of
the
animals
with
whom
we
share
the
planet.'
In
that,
he
succeeds.
An
impressive
overview
of
modern
neurology
and
the
still-unanswered
issues
raised
by
our
treatment
of
our
fellow
living
creatures."

journey

understanding

what
dogs--and
their
mammalian
cousins--might
be
thinking
about
us."

has
done
it
again:

scientific
revolution.
Marvelously
written
