An interesting look through some experiments and developments in non-primate mammalian neuroscience. The studies of dogs and sea mammals were fascinating and will hopefully lead to additional discoveries in the future. The quest to find thylacine brains to run through an MRI was somewhat less so, but it did have a certain old school adventure-science style to it that was charming even if the results themselves were not necessarily particularly interesting.

But don't be fooled by the name and the handsome pointer on the cover: This is not a dog book.
