A Wall Street Journal bestseller. The powerful bond between humans
and dogs is one that's uniquely cherished. Loyal, obedient, and
affectionate, they are truly "man's best friend." But do dogs love
us the way we love them? Emory University neuroscientist Gregory
Berns had spent decades using MRI imaging technology to study how
the human brain works, but a different question still nagged at
him: What is my dog thinking? After his family adopted Callie, a
shy, skinny terrier mix, Berns decided that there was only one way
to answer that question-use an MRI machine to scan the dog's brain.
His colleagues dismissed the idea. Everyone knew that dogs needed
to be restrained or sedated for MRI scans. But if the military
could train dogs to operate calmly in some of the most challenging
environments, surely there must be a way to train dogs to sit in an
MRI scanner. With this radical conviction, Berns and his dog would
embark on a remarkable journey and be the first to glimpse the
inner workings of the canine brain. Painstakingly, the two worked
together to overcome the many technical, legal, and behavioral
hurdles. Berns's research offers surprising results on how dogs
empathize with human emotions, how they love us, and why dogs and
humans share one of the most remarkable friendships in the animal
kingdom. How Dogs Love Us answers the age-old question of dog
lovers everywhere and offers profound new evidence that dogs should
be treated as we would treat our best human friends: with love,
respect, and appreciation for their social and emotional
intelligence.
