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 as early
as 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.
