The Secret Life of Dogs
Description
The Secret Life of Dogs Step inside the extraordinary world of humankind's oldest friend ? curious, loyal, mischievous, and wiser than we ever guessed. The Secret Life of Dogs takes readers beyond the wagging tail to explore how dogs think, feel, and see the world ? and what they secretly make of us. Packed with heart, humour, and science, this beautifully illustrated, full-colour book uncovers the everyday wonders of canine life ? from the way dogs navigate using scent maps to the strange genius of their body language. You'll meet working dogs, street dogs, and sofa philosophers, and discover what connects them all: an instinct to live joyfully, faithfully, and entirely in the moment. Did you know... • Dogs can detect a single teaspoon of sugar dissolved in an Olympic-sized swimming pool. • A Greyhound can outrun a cheetah over distance. • Puppies start dreaming before they can walk. • Some dogs understand over 1,000 human words. • Their sense of smell is so acute they can track time itself ? by following fading scents through the day. Whether you share your home with a faithful hound or simply admire them from afar, The Secret Life of Dogs is a celebration of loyalty, laughter, and life on four paws.
