Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"This book is an evolutionary thought experiment—untestable, informative and great fun. . . .
A Dog’s World appears to have all four paws on secure scientific ground as Ms. Pierce and Mr. Bekoff start from basic evolutionary and ecological principles to develop powerful predictions and insights into dogs as we know them today."
---David P. Barash, Wall Street Journal"This thought-provoking book examines what the world would look like if all of us annoying, treat-wielding, doggie-day-care arranging grown-ups suddenly disappeared and dogs could run free. We might like to believe our dogs would be lost without us, but the reality might surprise you."
---Zibby Owens, Washington Post"I love creative approaches to science writing and this book – an imagining of what would happen to dogs if humans disappeared – delivers it all: fresh perspectives, top-drawer science and an original thought-provoking hook."
---Jules Howard, Big Issue
