Have you ever wondered about your dog’s thought process?

Author Eugene Linden writes about  humanity’s relationship with nature, sharing anecdotes of animals (like your dog) who seem to display their thoughts proudly. Stories include penguins trying to play touch football like the humans they were watching, monkeys playing practical jokes, and tigers hiding in shame at their mean pranks.

Linden writes about science, technology, the environment and humanity’s relationship with nature.  How do animals communicate with each other?
