In a con­ver­sa­tion­al Q&A for­mat, renowned dog expert Stan­ley Coren answers the ques­tions that every dog own­er has about how dogs think and act.

Do dogs dream? Can they rec­og­nize them­selves in the mir­ror or under­stand what they’re see­ing on tele­vi­sion? Are they more intel­li­gent than cats? Peo­ple have a great curios­i­ty-and many mis­un­der­stand­ings-about how dogs think, act, and per­ceive the world. They also won­der about the social and emo­tion­al lives of dogs. Stan­ley Coren brings decades of sci­en­tif­ic research on dogs to bear in his unprece­dent­ed for­ay into the inner lives of our canine com­pan­ions, dis­pelling many com­mon myths in the process. Coren answers the ques­tions dog own­ers have most fre­quent­ly asked dur­ing his near­ly fifty-year career as a dog researcher, com­bin­ing the author­i­ty of an expert with the deliv­ery of a guest at a cock­tail party.
