What the Dog Knows
In this interesting book, Cat Warren and her dog, Solo, teach readers that the nose can do things more than people can imagine4.
Solo has a fine nose and knows how to use it. And hes only one of many thousands of scent-detection5 dogs all over the United States. Thats a group of dogs that can find graves6 of Civil War soldiers; and even can find people more than two hundred feet under a lake.
All these dogs love to use their noses. They think their job is the best and most interesting game theyve ever played!What good working dogs can do may seem magical7. But What the Dog Knows shows the science and the hard training that underlie8 these excellent abilities.
在這本有趣的書中,卡特·沃倫和她的愛犬索洛告訴讀者們,鼻子的作用是大大超出人們想象的。
索洛的鼻子很靈敏,并且知道如何使用它,它只是全美成千上萬的嗅覺偵查犬中的一只。這群狗可以找到美國內(nèi)戰(zhàn)時期士兵的墳?zāi)?甚至可以找到在湖面200英尺下的人。
所有這些狗狗們都喜歡使用鼻子。它們認為自己的工作是玩過的最好、最有趣的游戲!優(yōu)秀的工作犬可以做很多看起來很神奇的事,但是《狗所知道的事》顯示出這些杰出的能力是以科學知識和嚴格訓練為基礎(chǔ)的。
