“From its irresistible cover photograph to its concluding ideas for directing a love of dogs into a lifetime career, this is an appealing, user-friendly book, buttressed by plenty of scientific fact.”—Booklist

“Fun, enlightened fare for inquisitive dog owners.”—School Library Journal

Get to know your best friend better by entering the world of canine senses. With this fun mix of activities, play, and science, kids can find out more about how dogs see, hear, smell, taste, and touch differently from humans, and how a dog’s life and aging process differ from ours. You even learn to read your dog’s mind— brain function, intelligence, memory, and more. The most fun part is the experiments to test your dog’s health, reflexes, vision, and sense of smell; or even trace its behavior back to the wolves that are its ancestors. A Selection of Scholastic Book Clubs.

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-7-Dog lovers will find plenty of useful activities and helpful advice in this title. Children are invited to read the safety tips at the start, then skip around to their favorite activity. They can learn how to make a footprint and nose print of their pet, take Spot's pulse, test canine cranial nerves, find Fido's favorite food, give a massage, etc. Safety hints include how to avoid bites and what to do if a menacing dog approaches. Most activities require only a few readily available tools and supplies. The type is set amid plenty of white space. Colorful cartoon illustrations portray myriad hounds and their multiethnic human friends. Abundant anthropomorphism is used as a visual aid to the lively text. A "yawn with your dog" activity shows poodle and girl yawning at each other. A discussion of the heart depicts a bulldog clipping out valentines. And smiling pups are everywhere. Additional information is set apart in green-rimmed fact bubbles. Fun, enlightening fare for inquisitive dog owners, and good for reports.
