Summary:
This middle grade adaptation of
Our
Dogs
,
Ourselves
is an eye-opening, entertaining, and beautifully illustrated look about humans' complicated and sometimes contradictory relationship with man's best friend by New York Times bestselling author of Inside of a Dog-Young Readers Edition.
We
keep
dogs
and are kept by them.
We
love
dogs
and (
we
assume)
we
are loved by them. Even while
we
see
ourselves
in
dogs
,
we
also treat them in surprising ways. On the one hand,
we
let them into
our
beds,
we
give them meaningful names, make them members of
our
family, and buy them the best food, toys, accessories, clothes, and more. But
we
also shape
our
dogs
into something they aren't meant to be. Purebreeding
dogs
has led to many unhealthy pups. Many
dogs
have no homes, or
live
out their life in shelters.
How
is it possible
we
can treat the same species in these two totally different ways? In
Our
Dogs
,
Ourselves
Young Readers Edition, bestselling author of Inside of a Dog, Alexandra Horowitz reveals the odd, surprising, and contradictory ways
we
live
with
dogs
.
