À propos de cet audio

 A firsthand exploration of the extraordinary abilities and surprising, sometimes life-saving talents of “working dogs”—pups who 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 thousands 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 hundred feet below the surface of a lake. These abilities may seem magical or mysterious, but author Cat Warren shows the science, the rigorous training, and the skilled handling that underlie these creatures’ amazing abilities.

Cat Warren is a university professor and journalist who 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 started out as a hobby soon became a calling, as Warren was introduced to the hidden universe of dogs who do this essential work and the handlers who train them.

Her dog Solo has a fine nose and knows how to use it, but he’s only one of many astounding dogs in a varied field. Warren interviews cognitive psychologists, historians, medical examiners, epidemiologists, and forensic anthropologists, as well as the breeders, trainers, and handlers who 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 partnership 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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"What the Dog Knows is a fascinating, deeply reported journey into scent, death, forensics and the amazing things dogs can do with their noses: sniffing out graves, truffles, bedbugs, maybe even cancer. But it's also a moving story of how one woman transformed her troubled dog into a loving companion and an asset to society, all while stumbling on the beauty of life in their searches for death." (Rebecca Skloot, in the New York Times Book Review)
“Warren writes with verve and provides rare insight into our working partnership with canines.”
“A beautifully written, fascinating, heartwarming, and oft-hilarious homage to working dogs. A must-read for anyone who wants to know more about four-legged working heroes. I'd like to shake Solo's paw for inspiring Cat Warren to write it.” (Maria Goodavage, author of Soldier Dogs)
“Move over CSI, and make way for Cat Warren and her forensic dog Solo to grab and keep your attention. What the Dog Knows is beautifully and compelling written—not only could I not put it down, I didn't want to.” (Patricia B. McConnell, PhD, CAAB, author of The Other End of the Leash)
“What the Dog Knows is a fascinating exploration into the minds and characters of some very special dogs. No one who cares about dogs should miss this smart, funny, and at times surprisingly moving book.” (Spencer Quinn, author of Dog on It)
“Enter the fascinating world of working dogs.” (Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation and Animals Make Us Human)
“Warren highlights the profound partnership developed between humans and dogs during their intense, but positive training, and in real situations. We are with her as she starts training her dog, and throughout the mistakes, triumphs, struggles, and rewards. I was entertained and educated—much of what I learned about dogs I had never encountered in any other book. …The people and dogs who inhabit this world are unforgettable.” (Stacey O'Brien, author of Wesley the Owl)
“The capabilities of these specially trained working dogs are remarkable. The author provides fascinating insider information about a meaningful partnership that has important legal and personal consequences.” (Amy Hempel, author of Reasons to Live and The Dog of the Marriage)
"What the Dog Knows is first the story of the relationship between a hard-working cadaver dog and his human companion. But that deeply-felt relationship opens the way to an exploration of the working dog world and in doing so becomes something more—a realization of the intelligence, determination, and decency of these animals, a story both wonderful and wise." (Lee Smith, author of The Last Girls)

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It's an incredible story about the passion needed to live with and train a human remains search dog. The team of players. The family sacrifices. The community that surrounds them. It's not a how-to book. It is very well researched and written, and recommends other books and experts that can be used as resources for anyone interested in this type of dog training.

Fantastic - well researched, written & performed

Great book and well researched, I got onto Cat Warren from reading an article more recently. I really enjoyed her writing about some of the cases she worked on and even talking about the cool ways they train and work the dogs in practice. But.. the book is really long and there was plenty of material that may be great for some people but just wasn't for me.

Cool book But..

The content of this book is really interesting but it's ruined by the writer's need to showoff her academic chops and use snobby langauge.

The snooty narrator who's trying very hard to be erudite and semi British doesnt't help. She even pronounced angst as ankhst.

Snob ruins a good story
