Offbeat: Ever wonder what a dog’s worldview was like? Read this post.

  • Hard as we may try, a dog’s-eye view is not immediately accessible to us, however, for we reside within our own umwelt, our own self-world bubble, which clouds our vision.
  • New York Times book reviewer Cathleen Schine • Using very big words to describe Alexandra Horowitz’s “Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know,” a book that tells you about all the stuff the title describes. Basically, dogs think differently from people – seeing things means little to Rover. But if Rover leaves his mark, then it means a lot to him. Their vision and hearing? Imprecise. Their smelling? Immaculate. There, we saved you from reading both the article and Horowitz’s book. But if you want to read either, click the link or something. • source
