Over the last three and a half years, the Animal Book Club has read 34 wonderful books about animals by many incredible authors, with a range of new books and classics. So I'm absolutely thrilled that this month, book club members have chosen to read my own book, Wag: The Science of Making Your Dog Happy
.
From the back cover,
"Dogs and humans share a special bond, but that doesn't mean we always understand what our pets are thinking and feeling. Zazie Todd distills current science to demystify the inner lives of dogs, and shares practical recommendations from leading veterinarians, researchers, and trainers. Clearly written and filled with personal anecdotes, Wag offers tips on how we can make the world better for dogs.- from properly socializing puppies to reducing stress at the vet to building in more play time. And whether you're a new owner or a lifelong one, Wag will help you understand what dogs need so you can cultivate a rewarding and respectful relationship. It will bring more happiness to your dog's life - and your own."
Wag: The Science of Making Your Dog Happy has a foreword by Dr. Marty Becker.
This book (plus all the previous choices, and more) are available in my Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/animalbookclub. For those in Canada, this map shows all the independent bookstores that are shipping books during this current time. Those in the US who prefer to support their local independent bookstore can do so via Indiebound.
You can learn more about Wag and see reviews and interviews here.
To join the book club, ask to join on Facebook and be sure to answer both of the questions; members are expected to read and comment on at least 7 of the 10 books each year. If you prefer more general chit chat about animal books without a commitment to read and comment each month, you may prefer the Animal Books Facebook group. You can find more information on the animal book club page.
