4.5/5 I really enjoyed this book. As a dog lover, someone whose dogs are for all intents and purposes are his children, I learned so much and have an even greater appreciation for dogs of all kind! Taking the time to learn and understand how they see the world, how they see me, just made me love them more. The only reason this wasn’t a five star read for me was that the narration on the audiobook was little too monotone for me.

Interesting information, but presented in a dry, academic fashion. I felt like I was in a college lecture hall. It made me want to find a different book about dogs with a higher rating and listen to it.

The good news: audiobooks allow you to pick the playback speed, so I listened to this at 2x.

Themes: dogs, behavior

Look, I learned some more about dogs. I looked at our dog a little differently. Wittgenstein got an unexpected name check. And I was entertained. But I suspect you really have to be a dog lover.

I thought it would be more of a story about a dog in his or her 1st person perspective but this book is more of a discussion on how dogs particularly behave in regards with the history of their domestication from wolves and from a (scientist) dog owner's research on animal behavior. "Inside of a Dog" is a little misleading title.
