    From your high school counselor. You make us so proud. Thoroughly enjoyed it and also learned so much. I will never look at Clancey and Clouseau quite the same way as I did before....of course, I found them to be exceptional in every way while reading your wonderful book!! Congrats on a job well done.. Guess who?

    More science than practical advice for new dog owners. Came away with three insights on dog behavior. Hoping for more.
  • A great read about the true capacity of our furry friends

    The Genius of Dogs is about how dogs have evolved through their close affiliation with humans, and how far science recently has come in understanding their unique genius. The authors do this in a fun, engaging and conversational style, while at the same time dispelling some myths and perpetuated “truths” about dogs, and also about what “intelligence” really is. For anyone who's interested in understanding what makes our furry friends tick, this is a great (e)book!
