Brian Hare of the Duke Canine Cognition Lab has written a new book with Vanessa Woods, "The Genius of Dogs: How Dogs Are Smarter than You Think". I have just started reading it, but it's not too early to call it wonderful and thought-provoking. The book definitely leaves you with new perspectives.
A couple of interviews with Brian can be found at Scientific American and Wired:

Lots of exciting research going on, an example of one of the recent cognitive studies can be found in the article "Dogs understand human perspective, say researchers" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-21411249
