      abstract = {"Do dogs experience emotions like people do? To find out,  neuroscientist and bestselling author Gregory Berns and his  team did something nobody had ever attempted: they trained  dogs to go into an MRI scanner--completely awake--so they  could figure out what they think and feel. But dogs were  just the beginning. In [this book], Berns takes us into the  brains and minds of wild animals: sea lions who can learn  to dance, and dolphins who can see with sound. In a radical  experiment in neuroarchaeology, he reconstructs the brain  of one of the most mysterious animals in recent history,  the Tasmanian tiger, to explain why it disappeared. Berns's  latest scientific breakthroughs show how similar animal  brains are to those of humans and make clear that we can  understand what it's like to be a dog or a dolphin. He  proves definitively that animals have feelings very much  like we do--a revelation which forces us to reconsider what  animal rights ought to be. Written with insight, empathy,  and humor, What It's Like to Be a Dog heralds a new world,  one in which complex intelligence is all around us. It is  the new manifesto for animal liberation of the twenty-first  century."--Jacket.},
