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.Author: Mark RowlandsPublisher: Liveright Publishing CorporationPublished: 01/28/2025Pages: 256Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 0.85lbsSize: 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.90dISBN13: 9781324095682ISBN10: 1324095687BISAC C
