To a dog, there is no such thing as "fresh air." In Being a Dog, Alexandra Horowitz, a leading researcher in dog cognition, unpacks the mystery of a dog's nose-view, in order to more fully understand our irrepressibly charming canine companions. She follows the dog's nose-exploring not only its abilities but the incredible ways it is being put to use.--Adapted from dust jacket.

"All of us sharing lives with dogs have noticed that their senses are superior to ours in many ways. How conscious are you of your dog's senses? Do you really know how well your dog can see, smell or hear? Have you thought of the fact that your dog has a priority of how to deploy his senses in various circumstances? Just like us, dogs can see, smell, hear, taste and feel, but they also have a sense of balance. Additionally, just like you and me, they have a sense of the condition of and movements in muscles and joints - a kinesthetic sense, and a visceral sense which reports the status to their brains. When the dog appears to be having a bad day, it may be one of those two senses reporting that something is not quite right. Be particularly attentive to the subtle signs dogs may show when they are having one of those bad days: Unfortunately, we miss most of these subtle signs. What we know about how dogs sense their worlds is changing, and new research is being published each year. In the 1970s I was taught that dogs can see only in black and white, and now we know they see in color, although not exactly the same rainbow as you and I. Recent research documents that dogs can smell, or sense, heat (Morell, 2020). Using their noses, dogs can detect things warmer than the surrounding environment and it seems that 31C (92F) is a limit. Many of you may have learned about birds finding their way using magnetism. Scientist have found that dogs too can sense electromagnetism and can probably find their way using this sense. Strangely enough, dogs will prefer relieving themselves facing north or south. They can simply see which direction is north. They can see the electromagnetism, due to a molecule in their eye called the cryptochrome molecule (Gruber, 2014). Additionally, many people claim to be able to do telepathic communication with dogs. We are truly living in an enriched world. In this book, I will describe some games and exercises where we first and foremost allow dogs to work their way using their outstanding olfactory sense. But we should never fail to be aware that the other senses are present and may be activated if the dog feels it useful"--

Detection canines have been utilized throughout the world for over a century, and while numerous attempts have been made to replicate the canine’s ability to detect substances by mechanical means, none has been as successful. The olfactory system is a highly intricate and sophisticated design for chemical sensing, and the olfactory capacity of many animals, including canines, is considered unmatched by machine due to not only their great sensitivity and superior selectivity but also their trainability and mobility. These unique features have led to the use of such animals as "whole-animal" biosensors. Amplifying the benefits and diminishing the limitations of detection canines' interdisciplinary research is crucial to understanding canine olfaction and detection and enhancing this powerful and complex detector. The past 50 years have produced vast advancements in animal behavior/training technology to develop canines into more proficient and reliable sensors, while scientific research has provided tremendous support to help practitioners better understand how to utilize this powerful sensor. This book assembles a diverse group of authors with expertise in a variety of fields relating to detection canines and the chemical sensing industry, including both research and operational perspectives on detection canines. It illustrates how science enhances our understanding of how canines are employed for solving some of the world’s leading detection challenges.

The value of the canine nose is well-documented, and working dogs are being utilized for their olfactory skills in an increasing number of fields. Not only are dogs used by police, security, and the military, but they are also now used in forensic science, in medical detection of disease, in calculating population trends of endangered species and e

Dogs and humans have worked side by side for thousands of years, and over the millennia we’ve come to depend upon our pooches as hunters, protectors, and faithful companions. But when it comes to the extraordinary quality of man’s best friend which we rely on most, the winner is clear—by a nose. In Secrets of the Snout, Frank Rosell blends storytelling and science as he sniffs out the myriad ways in which dogs have been trained to employe their incredible olfactory skills, from sussing out cancer and narcotics to locating endangered and invasive species, as well as missing persons (and golf balls). With 300 million receptors to our mere 5 million, a dog’s nose is estimated to be between 100,000 and 100 million times more sensitive than a human’s. No wonder, then, that our nasally inferior species has sought to unleash the prodigious power of canine shnozzes. Rosell here takes us for a walk with a pack of superhero sniffers including Tutta, a dog with a fine nose for fine wine; the pet-finder pooch AJ; search-and-rescue dog Barry; the hunting dog Balder; the police dogs Rasko and Trixxi; the warfare dog Lisa; the cancer detection dog Jack; Tucker, who scents floating killer whale feces; and even Elvis, who can smell when you’re ovulating. With each dog, Rosell turns his nose to the evolution of the unique olfactory systems involved, which odors dogs detect, and how they do it. A celebration of how the canine sense for scents works—and works for us—Secrets of the Snout will have dog lovers, trainers, and researchers alike all howling with delight. Exploring this most pointed of canine wonders, Rosell reveals the often surprising ways in which dogs are bettering our world, one nose at a time.

As an unabashed dog lover, Alexandra Horowitz is naturally curious about what her dog thinks and what she knows. As a cognitive scientist she is intent on understanding the minds of animals who cannot say what they know or feel. This is a fresh look at the world of dogs -- from the dog's point of view. The book introduces the reader to the science of the dog -- their perceptual and cognitive Abilities -- and uses that introduction to draw a picture of what it might be like to bea dog. It answers questions no other dog book can -- such as: What is a dog's sense of time? Does she miss me? Want friends? Know when she's been bad? Horowitz's journey, and the insights she uncovered from studying her own dog, Pumpernickel, allowed her to understand her dog better, and appreciate her more through that understanding. The reader will be able to do the same with their own dog. This is not another dog training book. Instead, Inside of a Dogwill allow dog owners to look at their pets' behaviour in a different, and revealing light, enabling them to understand their dogs and enjoy their relationship even more.
