In this marvellous book Raimond Gaita tells stories about animals - dogs and cats, bees and butterflies - and interweaves these with reflections on how animals think, trust, hope and mourn. He argues that it is love which gives us the best model for the respect we owe to animals and the natural world.
Filled with inspirational stories, with reflections on how we think about the natural world and contemplate landscape, 'The Philosopher's Dog' is moving, sometimes funny - always thought-provoking.
