How Smart Is Your Dog?: 30 Fun Science Activities with Your Pet

By D. Caroline Coile

Book Overview

Your dog will act "smarter" if you know more about how he "thinks." Enter the world of canine senses--how your dog sees, hears, smells, tastes, and touches differently from you, and how a dog's life and aging process differ from yours. You even learn to read your dog's mind-brain function, intelligence, memory, and learning abilities--based on its biological origins. The most fun part is the experiments to test your dog's health, reflexes, vision, and scent; or even trace its behavior back to the wolves that are its ancestors.

Customer Reviews

Fun with science and dogs!

This book is great! It has all sorts of facts about how the dog's body and mind works. It has experiments that could be used for science fair projects or just for fun at home. The dogs have fun too! It would be a great book for any young person who wanted to understand their pet more, and especially for any aspiring veterinarian! The information in it is very informative for both children and adults.
