Description
About the Book
"A collection of stories about the human-dog relationship. Drawing on his personal experience, the author explores the lessons that dogs can teach us about love, loyalty, courage, grief, and joyfully living in the present. Each chapter discusses a different lesson and its relevance to our own lives"--Book Synopsis
A heartwarming meditation on the powerful presence of dogs in our lives and the transformative lessons they can teach us about love, loyalty, grief, and more "When in doubt, walk your dog" is the first of many valuable maxims in Dog Lessons, a heartfelt reflection on what dogs can teach us when we open ourselves to listen and learn. After sixty-plus years living and working with dogs, Hersch Wilson shares self-deprecating stories and lighthearted musings on a life filled with fur-covered furniture, unexplained messes, and destroyed property. The resulting compendium of dog wisdom -- from universal values like loyalty and curiosity to practical lessons on napping, playing, and avoiding a serious fight -- is not only poignant but eminently good advice.Review Quotes
