The Cat Said What??
A woman named Cat is telling us what the dog knows? And we trust her??
Patrick, have you read it? I did, and was impressed. Lots of solid experience and a bit of real science. Ms. Warren trained her GSD to become a Human Remains Detection dog - not for the dilettante! And yes, the name is comical, the book is serious. She does a whole chapter on the difference between bullshit and lies. I think you'd like it. Ruth
Ordered! I have actually heard VERY good things, so looking forward to the read. Just amusing myself by noting the author's name. Low hanging fruit and me being lazy (What? Again?) A bit like the old talking dog joke where the owner says "Oh sure the dog talks, but it LIES!"

Will report out when I get it and get through it.
Hope you enjoy it. I'd get it again from the library for the chapter on bullshit/lies.
To answer your question, yes, I'd trust her.
That punch line is one of my favorites of all time.
