The amazing story of a very smart Border collie who is redefining animal intelligence.
Chaser has a way with words. She knows over a thousand of them—more than any other animal of any species except humans. In addition to common nouns like house, ball, and tree, she has memorized the names of more than one thousand toys and can retrieve any of them on command. Based on that learning, she and her owner and trainer, retired psychologist John Pilley, have moved on to further impressive feats, demonstrating her ability to understand sentences with multiple elements of grammar and to learn new behaviors by imitation.
John’s ingenuity and tenacity as a researcher are as impressive as Chaser’s accomplishments. His groundbreaking approach has opened the door to a new understanding of animal intelligence, one that requires us to reconsider what actually goes on in a dog’s mind. Chaser’s achievements reveal her use of deductive reasoning and complex problem-solving skills to address novel challenges.
Yet astonishingly, Chaser isn’t unique. John’s training methods can be adopted by any dog lover. Through the poignant story of how he trained Chaser, raised her as a member of the Pilley family, and proved her abilities to the scientific community, he reveals the positive impact of incorporating learning into play and more effectively channeling a dog’s natural drives.
John’s work with Chaser offers a fresh perspective on what’s possible in the relationship between a dog and a human. His story points us toward a new way of relating to our canine companions that takes into account our evolving understanding of the way animals and humans learn.

Haven’t listened to this one yet. I just converted it, and I have a super long list to get to, so I can’t be held responsible for quality. I hope it’s great though, and you all enjoy it. :)

Thanks, Hetaira!

Thank you! I love stories about the greatness, kindness, intelligence, loyal and love about our furkids.
Yup. I don’t see them as pets, I see them as family and they have all the same rights and freedoms as any human member of my family. :)

The torrent has been running just under a half hour. Only 0 of 1 seed? Please force seeding? Please please?

@Kylix - were you able to download the book? If you were, your torrent should have been another seed making a total of two (the first one being from the uploader.)
I hope you weren’t a ‘hit and run’ downloader that grabs what you need and disconnects without the courtesy of uploading to at least 100%.
After 4 hours I’m still seeing only 1 seed - that of the original uploader and only 35% of that 1 seed is available.
The original seed is disappearing quickly.
@Hetaira: Please set your client to force seeding to another at least 100% as the original seed from you did not propagate completely.
Thank you.

Does anyone have this available anymore?
It seems the only seeder left is either missing or is intentionally throttling the upload to zero bps
