What Do Dogs Really Think of Us?
Charles Darwin, driven by his deep love for dogs, was plagued by questions about their thoughts, emotions, and understanding of the world. His contemporaries explored various methods to unravel these mysteries, including dog sign language, puzzle boxes, and elaborate sniff tests. These scientific endeavors aimed to shed light on the minds of dogs and influenced the work of psychologists and animal behaviorists. However, what they failed to recognize was that the very methods they employed to study dogs were inadvertently shaping the insights they gained.
A New Approach:
To uncover the impressive cognitive abilities of dogs, a new approach was necessary. Instead of treating dogs with cruelty or subjecting them to human-centric methods, it was essential to approach them with love and compassion. By doing so, dogs would be more willing to open up and share their unique perspective on the world. This would enable a new breed of scientists to gain valuable insights into the minds of animals and answer some of the most pressing questions of our time.

"Wonderdog" is a historical account that explores the journey of these dogs and how they have contributed to our understanding of animal minds. The book celebrates the remarkable abilities of dogs and reveals the secrets they hold. It is a love letter to science, encompassing both the highs and lows of scientific exploration. Through the stories of these remarkable dogs, readers are invited to appreciate the complexity and wonder of animal minds and the invaluable role they play in our lives.
