The Word of Dog - What Our Canine Companions Can Teach Us About Living a Good Life

If you have spent any part of your life with a dog, you may have found certain questions popping, unbidden, into your mind: Is my dog living a fulfilled life. Is my dog a good dog. Does my dog love me. Addressing these questions compels you to confront not just your dog's life but yours as well-to think about what fulfillment, and meaning, in life really is. In The Word of Dog. , philosopher Mark Rowlands explores these questions and suggests that in dogs we can see hints-faint, shrouded, but discernible-of what a better way of living might look like. Perhaps none of us can be happy in the way a dog can, but The Word of Dog. shows us we could do a lot better than we're doing simply by listening to the unspoken wisdom our dogs reveal to us every day of their happy, uncomplicated lives.
