There’s something so lovable and goofy about a dog upside down, that you can’t help but smile. That’s what photographer Serena Hodson thought and decided to take a whole series of photos of upside down dogs!
The Australian photographer explains how her concept originated saying, “Upside Down Dogs began with a simple idea – to capture the delight and joy of dogs in an upside down pose.”
Do dogs have feelings similar to humans? Scientist Gregory Berns has been studying the brains of dogs for several years by taking MRI brain scans of dogs. his findings have lead him to the conclusion “dogs are people, too.”
In Your Dog Is Your Mirror, dog trainer Kevin Behan proposes a radical new model for understanding canine behavior: a dog’s behavior and emotion, indeed its very cognition, are driven by our emotion. The dog doesn’t respond to what the owner thinks, says, or does; it responds to what the owner feels. And in this way, dogs can actually put people back in touch with their own emotions. Behan demonstrates that dogs and humans are connected more profoundly than has ever been imagined; by heart; and that this approach to dog cognition can help us understand many of dogs’ most inscrutable behaviors. This groundbreaking, provocative book opens the door to a whole new understanding between species, and perhaps a whole new understanding of ourselves.
