"Full of great science delivered with genuine warmth and heart; I just couldn't put this book down. Through Wag and now Purr, Zazie Todd has united dog-people and cat-people in a single goal: to make the lives of animals in our care richer and healthier—mentally, physically, emotionally—than we ever thought possible."—Jules Howard, zoological commentator and author of Wonderdog
“A digestible mixture of science summaries, expert opinions, anecdotes about Zazie’s cats, and practical tips. Purr is definitely a book your cat would want you to read!"—Dr. Sarah Ellis, co-author of The Trainable Cat and Head of Cat Advocacy, International Cat Care

"Zazie Todd, a psychologist and dog trainer, gives us the latest research and insights that can help you better understand your dog. Practical, compassionate, thorough — and based on science rather than wishful thinking — Wag is also a gift you should give to yourself and the dog or dogs in your life. I loved it!”—Cat Warren, NYT-Bestselling author of What the Dog Knows
