Review

"[A] wry, literate study of dogs in human culture....Quick-witted and entertaining."

"The significance [Garber] ascribes to dogs, the profundity she sees in human relations with dogs, the depth of passion and knowledge she brings to the subject--all these are, I'm afraid, beyond me. No doubt fellow dog cultists will lap up this dog book...But others, alas, will be either faintly annoyed by the tone of the book (as I was, for much of it) or simply baffled. One thing they won't be is uninformed. The bulk of this book is swaths of loosely organized--and entertaining--facts about dogs."

Publisher's note

Combining literary and historical tidbits with witty social insight, "Dog Love" explains everything from why we often admire presidential pets more than their owners to why our attachment to dogs is the ultimate expression of our humanity. of photos.

Annotation

Harvard social critic, Marjorie Garber, reveals what our love for dogs says about us, and argues that it is with our pets that we permit ourselves to experience some of our strongest emotions, and that it is our dogs who make us human.
