What It’s Like to Be A Dog…and Other Adventures in Animal Neuroscience

Basic Books

What is it like to be a dog? A bat? Or a dolphin? To find out, neuroscientist and New York Times bestelling author of How Dogs Love Us, Gregory Berns and his team taught dogs to go into an MRI scanner–completely awake. In What It’s Like to Be a Dog, Berns explores the fascinating inner lives of wild animals from sea lions to the extinct Tasmanian tiger, fundamentally reshaping how we think about–and treat–animals. Groundbreaking and deeply humane, it is essential reading for animal lovers of all stripes.
