But do dogs also understand our emotions? Can they grasp cause and effect relationships? What fascinates us humans about dogs? Is it only the proverbial тАШpuppy dog eyesтАЩ that make dogs look sympathetic? Or is it the fact that these animals have grown very well-attuned to humans and are willing to cooperate with them?
In a total of ten chapters, Juliane Br├дuer and Juliane Kaminski present the results of the most important scientific studies of the last twenty years on dog cognition.
