by John W. Pilley; Hilary Hinzmann
From the rear cover
An engrossing and remarkable tale. The Bark
There seems to be no end to Chaser s abilities. USA Today
Chaser has fascinated dog lovers and scientists alike. Her story reveals the potential for taking our dialogue with dogs well beyond fetch. When retired psychology professor John Pilley first got his new Border collie puppy, Chaser, he wanted to explore the boundaries of language learning and communication between humans and man s best friend. Exhibiting intelligence previously thought impossible in dogs, Chaser soon learned the names of more than a thousand toys and sentences with multiple elements of grammar. Chaser s accomplishments are revolutionizing the way we think about the intelligence of animals. John and Chaser s inspiring journey advocates for the power of learning through play, and opens our eyes to the boundless potential in the animals we love.
