In a world full of misinformation about pets, these three authors are championing a more informed understanding of dogs and cats. Their books help you build a better relationship with your pet—and have fun in the process. Get to know the authors, learn what inspires their writing, and have the chance to ask questions at the end.

Purr: The Science of Making Your Cat Happy is the feline follow-up to Zazie Todd’s award-winning book, Wag: The Science of Making Your Dog Happy. It’s packed with expert advice and practical tips. It will be published on May 3rd in Canada and the US and on May 19th in the UK and is available for pre-order now.

In Doggie Language: A Dog Lover’s Guide to Understanding Your Best Friend, Lili Chin’s characterful drawings illustrate the many ways in which dogs communicate with us.

Sassafras Lowrey’s bullet-journal-come-activity-guide, Chew This Journal: An Activity Book for You and Your Dog, is full of games, training plans, and crafts to help you have more fun with your pet.

The authors will be in conversation with writer, dog trainer, and Special Correspondent Kristi Benson.
