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. How is it possible we can treat the same species in these two totally different ways? Many dogs have no homes, or live out their lives in shelters. We celebrate their individuality but breed them for sameness. As Horowitz considers the current culture of dogdom, she reveals the odd, surprising, and contradictory ways we live with dogs. Purebreeding dogs has led to many unhealthy pups. In Our Dogs, Ourselves, Alexandra Horowitz explores all aspects of this unique and complex interspecies pairing. But we also shape our dogs into something they aren’t meant to be. 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. Even while we see ourselves in dogs, we also treat them in surprising ways. We love dogs and (we assume) we are loved by them. This middle grade adaptation of Our Dogs, Ourselves is an eye-opening, entertaining, and beautifully illustrated look at humans’ complicated and sometimes contradictory relationship with man’s best friend by New York Times bestselling author of Inside of a Dog.
