I picked up this book because of the subtitle: "How the Dog Came to Share Your Brain" and because the author (Jon Franklin) is a science reporter who became interested, almost against his will, in dogs.
It's very well-written and just enough science for me, a non-science person; I recommend it. I'm only about 60 pages in, so I know I haven't reached the central thesis of the book yet.

A quick internet search shows me that Patricia McConnell doesn't like it, but that doesn't deter me, since I've never been in the PM fan club ROFL
