If dogs could talk...
...I'm pretty sure they would spend an inordinate amount of time talking about squirrels.
Stephen Budiansky has an interesting book called, If Lions Could Talk, on animal intelligence and some of the flaws of current research in the field, in particular how often we overlook the idea that animal intelligence and animal 'values' may be fundamentally different than our own.
I think he also misses some important things--the role of scenting ability in how animals interpret information and solve problems--but it's an interesting book with loads of good information.
