Inside of a dog
What Dogs See, Smell, and Know
Book • 2010
In this book, Alexandra Horowitz uses her expertise in cognitive science to explain how dogs perceive their daily worlds, each other, and humans.
She draws on up-to-the-minute research to describe dogs' detection of disease, the secrets of their tails, and their skill at reading human attention.
Horowitz's approach is based on the biosemiotic theory of Jakob von Uexküll, focusing on the 'umwelt' or subjective world of animals.
The book provides practical insights for dog owners to understand why their dogs behave in certain ways and how to improve their relationships with their pets.
