I should have thought of that one -- it's another really good book,
although it has a lot more to do with how dog vs. human senses
differ. One thing I found especially interesting about it is the case
it makes for dogs having some subject/object duality.

In my house, we achieve dog-like social interactions with dogs... the
Nao could be an interesting experiment, but nothing like going to the
