Gregory Berns' What It's Like to Be a Dog provides insights into the canine mind using non-invasive brain imaging, highlighting that dogs possess complex emotional lives and share similar brain structures with humans.

It argues for a shift in how we understand and treat animals, asserting they are not just reactive, but thinking, feeling, and often conscious, subjects.
