It's unfortunate that Hunger never thought to check in with an animal behavior expert, though. In fact, in the last chapter, she seems to go out of her way to poo-poo people with expertise that differs from hers--in the same way that she throws her own colleagues under the bus in the early chapters because they don't use the same techniques she wants to use. Hunger seems surprised that dogs have skills and intelligence similar to a human toddler, but this is something behaviorists, and even lay people who pay a moderate amount of attention, have known for decades. (It's me! I'm lay people!) Congratulations to Hunger for having the idea to incorporate an assistive device into Stella's communication skills. That is a unique perspective that only an SLP would be likely to incorporate. But the idea that Hunger has "discovered" what dogs are capable of is wrong and is probably pretty insulting to people who've spent their entire careers learning about animal behavior.… (altro)
