Inside Of A Dog
Written by animal behaviourist Alexandra Horowitz, this younger-audience adaptation of her bestselling adult title takes readers on a fascinating trip into the sensory life of dogs. What do they actually notice? What are they feeling when they tilt that head? And just how much information does a single sniff carry? It's a lot more than you'd expect. Horowitz has a gift for translating genuine scientific insight into something accessible and alive. She explains how dogs experience their daily surroundings, interpret one another, and make sense of the humans they live with, all from a vantage point roughly two feet from the ground. Short, surprising revelations sit alongside richer explanations, keeping the pace lively throughout. The result is a book that genuinely shifts how you see the animal curled up at your feet. You'll find yourself watching your dog differently after reading this, noticing behaviours you'd previously overlooked and reconsidering ones you thought you understood. It's as close as any of us are likely to get to understanding what it actually means to be a dog, short of growing a tail.
