      Chování psů nemusí být jen námětem veselých historek, ale lze je zkoumat i vědecky. Psi fascinovali už Darwina, známé experimenty s nimi prováděl Pavlov. V 20. století se ale kognitivní psychologové a odborníci na inteligenci zvířat studiu psů vyhýbali, neboť domestikaci spojovali se zhloupnutím. To však u psa neplatí, protože ten disponuje velmi specifickou inteligencí. Z hlediska porozumění lidských gestům předčí i šimpanze, psi dokáží chápat význam tisíců slov a řadit je do kategorií, umějí dedukovat, naučí se používat klávesnici. Mohou mít teorii mysli a jaké jsou jejich matematické schopnosti?
