What It’s Like to Be a Dog，by Gregory Berns
Berns，a neuroscientist，trained dogs to sit in a machine in order to look into the brains of conscious dogs for the first time.That pioneering work inspired him to dig deeper into the minds of other animals，from sea lions to the extinct thylacine(袋狼).Berns says，“ With their ability to think，choose and feel，dogs and other animals do not deserve the cruel treatment humans so often do to them.”
