Dogs and us: Alexandra Horowitz

Best-selling cognitive scientist Alexandra Horowitz talks to Susie Ferguson about her new book "Our Dogs, Ourselves", which attempts to understand the age-old and often emotional relationship between humans and our dogs: how we acquire, name, train, raise, treat, talk to, and see them - and what that relationship tells us about ourselves and our society. Alexandra Horowitz is a professor at Columbia University, where she teaches seminars in canine cognition and heads the Dog Cognition Lab. Here Alexandra and her team observe and study dogs in an attempt to answer the question "what it is like to be a dog?"
