Young Readers Edition
Scent, Science, and the Amazing Ways Dogs Perceive the World
Written by Cat Warren
A moving and humorous memoir and an exploration of what it means to partner with dogs who use their brains and noses to help solve crimes and find the missing.
Cat Warren has adapted her New York Times bestseller, What the Dog Knows, for younger readers. This version still contains the science and history of scent detection dogs, but its heart focuses on Solo, the impossible German shepherd puppy who grew up to search for the missing and dead. What the Dog Knows shows how love and loyalty can bring out the best in a dog — and his human.

“Learn about the fascinating world of training working dogs to identify scents, rescue people, find explosives, and assist law enforcement.”
“What the Dog Knows is far more uplifting than any book featuring human cadavers, regular tick sightings, and travels through poison ivy has any right to be. Go find it!”

“A smart, funny, haunting exploration of the ways that we train dogs – and the ways that dogs teach us, sometimes even more, in return.”
