"Like a Mary Roach but with a solid scientific background to her
credit, Horowitz is a skilled investigative reporter who takes
readers into unfamiliar worlds, shares her experiences there, asks
probing questions, and makes those worlds come alive. Dog owners
curious about the lives of their pets will savor this book, but it
deserves a wider audience than just animal lovers."
Kirkus Reviews"
Horowitz explores the way dogs experience the world in this rich
and absorbing examination of noses and scents Both dog lovers and
pop science readers will want to stick their noses in this book,
and they may find themselves using their noses, like Horowitz and
dogs everywhere, to experience the world more vividly.
Publishers Weekly"
I'm not entirely certain whether Alexandra Horowitz's Being a Dog
has made me want to buy a dog or morph into one but I do know that
it was magical. Horowitz has crafted an utterly engrossing, witty,
finely-observed narrative that will make you look at the power of
the nose in a wholly new way.

to Think Like Sherlock Holmes"
