"This marvelous blend of good science and heartwarming dog story will inspire all of us to reexamine our canine friends." -Booklist, starred review
The New York Times-bestselling story of a very smart Border collie who redefined animal intelligence. A joyous explanation of behavior, learning, and perception-any pet owner, parent, teacher, or psychologist will be enriched by this book.
When retired psychology professor John Pilley first got his new Border collie puppy, Chaser, he wanted to explore the boundaries of language learning and communication between humans and man's best friend. Exhibiting intelligence previously thought impossible in dogs, Chaser soon learned the names of more than a thousand toys and sentences with multiple elements of grammar.
Chaser's accomplishments are revolutionizing the way we think about the intelligence of animals. John and Chaser's inspiring journey demonstrates the power of learning through play and opens our eyes to the boundless potential in the animals we love.
