Summary:
"Brian Hare, dog researcher, evolutionary anthropologist, and founder of the Duke Canine Cognition Center, and Vanessa Woods offer revolutionary new insights into dog intelligence and the interior lives of our smartest pets. In the past decade, we have learned more about
how
dogs
think
than
in the last century. Breakthroughs in cognitive science, pioneered by Brian Hare have proven
dogs
have a kind of
genius
for getting along with people that is unique in the animal kingdom. Brian Hare's stunning discovery is that when
dogs
domesticated themselves around 40,000 years ago they became far more like human infants
than
their wolf ancestors. Domestication gave
dogs
a whole new kind of social intelligence. This finding will change the way we
think
about
dogs
and dog training--indeed, the revolution has already begun. Hare's seminal research has led him to work with every kind of dog from the tiniest shelter puppy to the exotic New Guinea singing dog, from his own childhood dog, Oreo, to the most fashionable schnoodle. The
Genius
of
Dogs
is nothing less
than
the definitive dog book of our time by the researcher who started a revolution. "-- Provided by publisher.
