Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I agree with the other reviewer that the title is misleading, the book is a yawner, and the conclusions drawn are simple extrapolations beyond the technical findings and expertise of the author. The title would leave you to believe that you're finally going to learn how (and understand how) dogs "think", and that they have legitimate human-like emotions. Maybe they do to some degree, but this books makes no sound case for that conclusion. 90% of the book is about training the dogs to get into the MRI machine and keep still, and the last 10% is a maudlin commentary on the death of one of the author's dogs. I am a dog owner and dog lover and I love my dog and he gives me unconditional love in return. Whether he "thinks" love in his mind is irrelevant to me - he is always happy to see me, loves to be close to me, loves my touch, and believes he should go everywhere with me (which as a therapy dog, he does). I was really hoping for some emotional and logical breakthrough in helping me to understand what goes on in his dog brain, but this book, to me, falls far short of that mark. Very disappointing.
