A thoughtful and engaging exploration of a puppy’s first year of life, blending science and personal storytelling. Following the development of her own puppy, Quiddity, Horowitz offers weekly insights into the physical, emotional, and behavioral changes puppies experience from birth through adolescence. Rather than focusing on training techniques, the book emphasizes understanding a puppy’s natural development and unique personality. It’s a great read for new puppy owners who want to deepen their appreciation for what’s happening beneath the surface as their pup grows, offering valuable context for building a strong, empathetic bond during this formative year.
Perfect for kiddos, this book takes a scientific memoir that chronicles the first year of her puppy, Quiddity (Quid), from birth through adolescence, highlighting the critical social and cognitive milestones that often go unnoticed in typical training-focused narratives. By closely observing Quid weekly as she interacts with her littermates, family, other pets, and the wider world, Horowitz reveals how a puppy’s sense of sight, smell, and individuality unfolds in parallel to human development, weaving in research on canine and child growth to deepen our understanding of those early months. The result is a richly detailed and empathetic portrait of a puppy’s transformation from vulnerable newborn to distinct personality, offering invaluable insight for anyone raising or studying young dogs
Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know (re-released September 2025)
A fascinating look into the world as experienced through the eyes, ears, and especially the noses of our canine companions. Drawing on cognitive science and her own observations, Horowitz explores how dogs interpret their surroundings using a rich tapestry of scent, sound, and motion. She introduces readers to the concept of a dog’s “umwelt”—their unique sensory experience of the world and explains how dogs smell emotions, track time, and perceive their environment from two feet off the ground. The book sheds light on how dogs use their mouths like hands, why they chase bikes, and how they navigate social dynamics. While not a training manual, it offers practical tips for better understanding and connecting with dogs, like the value of letting them sniff or reconsidering outdated dominance theories. Blending science with warmth and curiosity, this bestselling book gives dog lovers a new appreciation for the minds and lives of their four-legged friends.
