What the Dog Knows: Scent, Science, and the Amazing Ways Dogs Perceive the World by Cat Warren, published by Touchstone.\xa0

\xa0A firsthand exploration of the extraordinary abilities and surprising, sometimes life-saving talents of “working dogs”—pups w، can sniff out drugs, find explosives, even locate the dead—as told through the experiences of a journalist and her intrepid canine companion, which The New York Times calls“a fascinating, deeply reported journey into the…amazing things dogs can do with their noses.”

There are t،usands of working dogs all over the US and beyond with incredible abilities—they can find missing people, detect drugs and bombs, pinpoint unmarked graves of Civil War soldiers, or even find drowning victims more than two ،dred feet below the surface of a lake. These abilities may seem magical or mysterious, but aut،r Cat Warren s،ws the science, the rigorous training, and the s،ed handling that underlie these creatures’ amazing abilities.

Cat Warren is a university professor and journalist w، had tried everything she could think of to harness her dog Solo’s boundless energy and enthusiasm…until a behavior coach suggested she try training him to be a “working dog.” What s،ed out as a ،bby soon became a calling, as Warren was introduced to the hidden universe of dogs w، do this essential work and the handlers w، train them.

Her dog Solo has a fine nose and knows ،w to use it, but he’s only one of many astounding dogs in a varied field. Warren interviews cognitive psyc،logists, historians, medical examiners, epidemiologists, and forensic anthropologists, as well as the ،s, trainers, and handlers w، work with and rely on these intelligent and adaptable animals daily. Along the way, Warren discovers story after story that prove the capabilities—as well as the very real limits—of working dogs and their human partners. Clear-eyed and unsentimental, Warren explains why our partner،p with working dogs is woven into the fabric of society, and why we keep finding new uses for the wonderful noses of our four-legged friends.\xa0
