Uvnitř psa - Co psi vidí, čenichají a vědí – Horowitzová Alexandra (2014)

A person and their dog... A dog and their person... But how truly 'theirs' are they? Do we understand our dog, and does the dog understand its person? The book by renowned ethologist Alexandra Horowitz answers these questions in an extraordinarily interesting and often surprising way. Yes, we understand each other – but only sometimes. It depends on allowing the dog to maintain its canine perspective and values. We must see it as a great canine friend and not as a four-legged 'human.' The foundation is mutual respect for each other's unique nature. This requires a person to try to step into the dog's mind (to move 'inside the dog') and look at the world through its eyes – to discover what dogs see, sniff, and know... We will then see that the 'dog world' is in many ways different from ours; simply put, we find ourselves in another world, full of surprising attractions, unexpected threats, and new pleasures. As you read this fascinating book, you will not only learn many new and thought-provoking things about dogs but also undoubtedly about yourself. And of course, about how things work between dogs and humans.
