The dog’s-eye view of us is not new in academic work, though it has been very sparse until recently. Human-animal relations, the relationship between nature and culture and critical approaches to scrutinise scientific and modernist thinking, have been increasing themes over the years, especially in sensory multispecies ethnography. Books like Lawrence Anthony’s The Elephant Whisperer, and films like The Horse Whisperer, suggest that we humans are complete anthropocentric amateurs when it comes to communicating with non-human animals.
