What this episode covers

UA anthropology professor Evan MacLean says understanding the animal mind brings scientists a step closer to figuring out human behavior. His studies indicate dogs understand the social world the same way people do, even though their minds are very different than humans. MacLean does his research at the Arizona Canine Cognition Center in Tucson. The center asks dog owners to bring their pets to the lab to learn how canines use information and make decisions.
