✻ ✻ ✻ Books for Informed Fur Parenting ✻ ✻ ✻ 〜 The Genius of Dogs: How Dogs Are Smarter than You Think by Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods ✍ The Genius of Dogs is a new book by Hare, who is the lead researcher behind Dognition, a project revolving around the study of dog cognition. How do our dogs read social cues? Just how tuned in to our movements and gestures are they? How thoroughly do our dogs train us without us realising it? This is the genius of dogs, and in this book, Hare looks at the science behind the social behaviour of dogs and their ability to understand both our body language and even our words to figure out the human world around them. In his book, Hare focuses very much on dog personality, and how that — be it extroversion or introversion, confidence or timidity, engaged or indifferent — is more a determining factor than even (or especially) breed in how well a dog navigates his environment. Hare views dogs as geniuses in figuring out the world around them, especially a world that is designed and influenced by a whole different species. By the end of the book you will have a hard time disagreeing. ✍
