Smartest Animals series.
This solid introduction includes information about dogs' sensory abilities, behavior, and domestication, with particular attention given to their capacity for intelligence (i.e., problem-solving and learning commands). Intermittent questions and writing prompts, along with links to additional web content, help foster research skills, though these may distract general readers. Short chapters and clear organization make quick referencing convenient. Reading list. Glos., ind.
