This book highlights the state of the field in the new, provocative
line of research into the cognition and behavior of the domestic
dog. Eleven chapters from leading researchers describe innovative
methods from comparative psychology, ethology and behavioral
biology, which are combined to create a more comprehensive picture
of the behavior of Canis familiaris than ever before. Each of the
book’s three parts highlights one of the perspectives relevant to
providing a full understanding of the dog. Part I covers the
perceptual abilities of dogs and the effect of interbreeding. Part
II includes observational and experimental results from studies of
social cognition – such as learning and social referencing –
and physical cognition in canids, while Part III summarizes the
work in the field to date, reviewing various conceptual and
methodological approaches and testing anthropomorphisms with regard
to dogs. The final chapter discusses the practical application of
behavioral and cognitive results to promote animal welfare. This
volume reflects a modern shift in science toward considering and
studying domestic dogs for their own sake, not only insofar as they
reflect back on human beings.
