The book The Genius of Dogs by Brian Hare
and Vanessa Woods explores the world of dog cognition. It is an easy to read examination of the
science that has been done in the quest to understand dogs and the dog-human
relationship. This book provides an
introduction to the subject and an overview of the material that is easy to
understand (i.e. there is no depth of specific scientific information to hinder
the scientifically illiterate).
