What to expect
A heartwarming and fascinating memoir about one woman, three dogs, and how twenty thousand years of evolution guaranteed we'd be best friends—a captivating story that celebrates how dogs and people are connected by so much more than just a leash.
For the Love of Dog celebrates the epic love story between humans and dogs, through the lens of one human and her three dogs. A story that unfolds over tens of thousands of years as wild strands of wolf DNA—feral and free—unravel, rearrange, and wind into new shapes: from mighty hunters with long, sharp faces and keen instincts to pudgy couch-surfers with rubber doggy booties to keep their paws dry in the rain. Heartwarming and hilarious stories about the author's dogs—Emmett, Lucas, and Cooper—bring this coevolutionary relationship to life.
There is no other relationship we humans have with an animal that rivals what we have with dogs. What makes this relationship unique among all the animals we live and work with? We understand one another.
For the Love of Dog brings warmth, charm, and wit to our unique relationships to the furballs at our feet. Because, as Ram Dass said, "We are all just walking each other home."
