Caroline Knapp brings perception and talent to bear on the rich, complicated terrain of human-animal relationships. In addition to mining her own experience with her dog Lucille, Knapp speaks to a wide variety of dog people - from animal behaviourists and psychologists to other owners whose dogs have deeply affected their lives - about this emotionally complex, sometimes daunting, often profoundly healing alliance. Throughout, she explores the shift in canine roles from working partners to intimate companions and looks, too, at how this new kinship, this wordless bond, becomes a template for what we most desire ourselves.
