Summary:
"We keep
dogs
and are kept by them. We love
dogs
and (we assume) we are loved by them. We buy them sweaters, toys, shoes; we are concerned with their social lives, their food, and their health. The
story
of humans and
dogs
is thousands of years old but is far from understood. In
Our
Dogs
,
Ourselves
, Alexandra Horowitz explores all aspects of this unique and complex interspecies pairing. As Horowitz considers the current culture of dogdom, she reveals the odd, surprising, and contradictory ways we live with
dogs
. We celebrate their individuality but breed them for sameness. Despite
our
deep emotional relationships with
dogs
, legally they are property to be bought, sold, abandoned, or euthanized as we wish. Even the way we speak to
our
dogs
is at once perplexing and delightful. In thirteen thoughtful and charming chapters,
Our
Dogs
,
Ourselves
affirms
our
profound affection for this most charismatic of animals—and opens
our
eyes to the companions at
our
sides as never before."--From publisher.
