  abstract: "How do dogs think? After a decade of research, the noted ethologist Vilmos Csanyi has captured the high degree of mutual understanding and empathy that exists between humans and their proverbial best friends." "Drawing in part on close observation of his own dogs, Flip and Jerry, Csanyi argues that the long-standing alliance of dogs and humans arose from the problem-solving and communication skills evident in wolves, from which all modern dogs are descended. These basic intellectual skills were refined and enhanced as dogs and humans evolved together over tens of thousands of years. And because dogs were bred to be mankind's helpmates, the dog owner who knows what to look for can interpret his pet's thoughts, desires, and motivations."--Jacket.
