Publisher's summary
Cat Warren is a university professor and former journalist with an admittedly odd hobby: She and her German shepherd have spent the last seven years searching for the dead. Solo is a cadaver dog. What started as a way to harness Solo’s unruly energy and enthusiasm soon became a calling that introduced Warren to the hidden and fascinating universe of working dogs, their handlers, and their trainers.
Solo has a fine nose and knows how to use it, but he’s only one of many thousands of working dogs all over the United States and beyond. In What the Dog Knows, Warren uses her ongoing work with Solo as a way to explore a captivating field that includes cadaver dogs, drug and bomb-detecting K9s, tracking and apprehension dogs - even dogs who can locate unmarked graves of Civil War soldiers and help find drowning victims more than two hundred feet below the surface of a lake. Working dogs’ abilities may seem magical or mysterious, but Warren shows the multifaceted science, the rigorous training, and the skilled handling that underlie the amazing abilities of dogs who work with their noses.
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 remarkable and adaptable animals daily. Along the way, she discovers story after story that proves the impressive 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 dogs is woven into the fabric of society and why we keep finding new uses for their wonderful noses.

As a result of his horrific leg wound, his 24-year military career came to an end - and with it the only life he’d ever known. In Touching the Dragon, we witness his long road to recovery.

Story
We keep dogs and are kept by them. We love dogs and (we assume) we are loved by them. We buy them sweaters, toys, shoes; we are concerned with their social lives, their food, and their health. The story of humans and dogs is thousands of years old but is far from understood. In Our Dogs, Ourselves, Alexandra Horowitz explores all aspects of this unique and complex relationship that “dog lovers will savor and absorb” (Shelf Awareness). As Horowitz considers the current culture of dogdom, she reveals the odd, surprising, and contradictory ways we live with dogs.

Parlez-vous Doggish? At long last, dogs will know just how smart their owners can be. By unlocking the secrets of the hidden language of dogs, psychologist Stanley Coren allows us into the doggy dialogue, or "Doggish", and makes effective communication a reality. Drawing on substantial research in animal behavior, evolutionary biology, and years of personal experience, Coren demonstrates that the average house dog can understand language at about the level of a two-year-old human.

A decade ago Special Forces warrior Jason Morgan parachuted into the Central American jungle on an anti-narcotics raid. He'd served with the famous Night Stalkers on countless such missions. This one turned out very different. Months later he regained consciousness in a US military hospital, with no memory of how he'd gotten there. The first words he heard were from his surgeon, telling him he would never walk again. The determined soldier responded, "Sir, yes, I will."

Every dog lover knows the feeling. The nuzzle of a dog’s nose, the warmth of them lying at our feet, even their whining when they want to get up on the bed. It really seems like our dogs love us, too. But for years, scientists have resisted that conclusion, warning against anthropomorphizing our pets. Enter Clive Wynne, a pioneering canine behaviorist whose research is helping to usher in a new era: one in which love, not intelligence or submissiveness, is at the heart of the human-canine relationship.

Story
From the author of the critically acclaimed bestseller, Scent of the Missing, comes a heartwarming and inspiring story that shows how dogs can be rescued and can rescue in return. For her first book, Susannah Charleson was praised for her unique insight into the kinship between humans and dogs, as revealed through canine search and rescue. In The Possibility Dogs Charleson chronicles her journey into the world of psychiatric-service and therapy dogs trained to serve the human mind, a journey that began as a personal one. After a particularly grisly search led to a struggle with PTSD, Charleson credits healing to her partnership with search dog Puzzle. Inspired by that experience and having met dogs formally trained to assist in such crises, Charleson learns to identify abandoned dogs with service potential, often plucking them from shelters at the last minute, and to train them for work beside hurting partners, to whom these second-chance dogs bring intelligence, comfort, and hope.

Wonderful for a dog training enthusiast.
I'm not even sure where to begin. I typically find myself extremely picky with narration, but Campbell was top notch.
The book itself was great. Hearing about the negative parts of raising a working dog felt like it will help with future training of dogs. I wouldn't change a thing. To handler and handler hopefuls, this is a must read!

My All-Time Favorite Dog Book (non-fiction)
This book is a must read for serious dog lovers and those that aspire to be involved with "working dogs". At first I thought I may not like it, as it was chock full of details and statistics on working dogs, while I had hoped for lots of search, rescue and find stories involving the author's dog, Solo.
While there are some working dog stories, this book is much, much more in that it explores so many issues related to training and working with a cadaver dogs. I hesitate to use that term, "cadaver dog" as it has negative and icky connotations and this book is neither icky nor negative.
Expect to learn SO much about the field of working dogs--how they are chosen, the necessary personality traits, the downside of singletons, dog behavior, trainer behavior, fraudulent trainers (oh, yes), various working breeds and their characteristics, the different agencies that train and use working dogs, private agents, and of course, lots about the author's own dog, Solo.
This is a book that got better and better as it went on. I felt a tiny tear in my eye as it ended, not because of the ending content but because it was over. I wanted to know more!
The narrator also got better and better as the book went on, as she adapted to who the author was as the subject material got more relevant and intense. Bravo to Cassandra Campbell for doing such a great narration.
And bravo to the author, Cat Warren, a former professor who found her true calling in life and has shared it so well with us.

Fascinating on various levels
This is a great story of the author's experience in training her dog as well as descriptions of how other service dogs are trained--particularly those that focus on using a dog's keen sense of smell. I loved this story, and the only thing I found objectionable was the reader's tone and interpretation of the text. She so often came across as condescending in many passages that were not intended to be sarcastic or ironic. The author uses irony and sarcasm to good effect but the reader was over the top throughout the story in a way that made me wish I could switch narrators to truly enjoy listening to a wonderful story. I would recommend this book to dog lovers who also find training and animal behavior to be of special interest to them.

slow at first but then...
this books turned out really slow about how she got her dog and kind of some of her back ground but once it gets into the nitty-gritty of actually doing the cadaver dogs and what dogs know and what's that studies or what everybody's heard is wrong and what we've actually proven things like how strong a dog's nose actually is on what a dog can actually do it's amazing to think that dogs can find Civil War era and Vietnam era bodies have been buried for years overall great book

A good narrative that hooks you and somehow you learn all the details of cadaver dog training
As a dog owner I am always eager to learn more about their amazing abilities. I am also on the lookout for jobs I could train my dog for to help her use her brain and body to keep her happy. I was expecting the first but got the second as a bonus. Warren does a remarkable job of making the science interesting by interweaving it in dog history and her personal experiences, mainly with training and working with her cadaver dog Solo. I had to remind myself of how squeamish I am when after an particularly riveting chapter I found myself online searching for cadaver sent training aids.
We will find a more suitable job for my dog while awaiting Warren’s next book.
