How Dogs Love Us by Gregory Berns not only captured my attention but left me wanting more whenever I had to put the book down.
Title: How Dogs Love Us: A Neuroscientist and His Adopted Dog Decode the Canine Brain
Author: Gregory Berns
Genre: Non-Fiction; Science; Animals; Dogs
Published: October 22nd, 2013
I’m an animal lover and a science nerd, This book discusses berns relationship with Callie, along with his other dogs and his family. Trust me when I say that this book is not filled with boring science mumbo jumbo, Yes it does state facts to back up his research but Berns states these facts in a way that helps you understand then and want to keep reading. Also, it does have a couple of pictures, like the interesting comparison of a dog’s brain to a human’s brain, and he goes writes about the tough process of not only training a dog to step inside an MRI but to stay still for 30 seconds while wearing ear muffs.
I suggest this book for any animal lover who has ever wondered how their dog feels about them and what they think.

The powerful bond between humans and dogs is one that’s uniquely cherished. Loyal, obedient, and affectionate, they are truly “man’s best friend.” But do dogs love us the way we love them? Emory University neuroscientist Gregory Berns had spent decades using MRI imaging technology to study how the human brain works, but a different question still nagged at him: What is my dog thinking?After his family adopted Callie, a shy, skinny terrier mix, Berns decided that there was only one way to answer that question—use an MRI machine to scan the dog’s brain. His colleagues dismissed the idea. Everyone knew that dogs needed to be restrained or sedated for MRI scans. But if the military could train dogs to operate calmly in some of the most challenging environments, surely there must be a way to train dogs to sit in an MRI scanner.
