Description
A revolution in our understanding of dogs is happening right now.
The minds of our beloved pets are evolved, complex and calculating in ways we’re only just beginning to explore.
In Wonderdog, Jules Howard takes us on a tour of scientific history. From Charles Darwin and his contemporaries’ tests with sign language and puzzle boxes, through Pavlov and Pasteur’s cruel experiments, all the way to modern methods of love and compassion, he shows us how we have learned about the impressive cognitive feats dogs are capable of and the important role dogs have played in the history of science.
Wonderdog is a fascinating celebration of the dogs that have the answers and are just waiting for the right questions. And it’s a love letter to science, through the good times and the bad.
