What does your dog really think about you?


Gregory Berns, a renowned neuroscientist, made groundbreaking strides in understanding the canine mind by persuading dogs to lie in an MRI machine while awake. Through his research, we have gained invaluable insights into the unique characteristics of dogs, including their varying capacities for self-control and distinct value systems. Moreover, our understanding of how dogs comprehend the language we speak to them has deepened, revealing a profound level of communication and comprehension between humans and their beloved companions.


Berns' discoveries have far-reaching implications for our interactions with dogs. By recognizing their individual traits and value systems, we can tailor our communication and training methods to better meet their needs and enhance their well-being. This knowledge can lead to more harmonious and fulfilling relationships between dogs and their owners.


In addition to his work with dogs, Berns has delved into the inner lives of various other animals, including sea lions, bats, dolphins, and even the extinct Tasmanian tiger. His revolutionary explorations have shed light on the complex cognitive abilities and social behaviors of these creatures, expanding our understanding of the animal kingdom as a whole.


For animal lovers, Berns' writings are a must-read. His insights and discoveries offer a deeper appreciation for the remarkable abilities and emotions of our fellow creatures, and inspire us to treat them with the love and respect they deserve. By learning more about the minds of dogs and other animals, we can cultivate a more compassionate and harmonious relationship with the natural world.
