“Alexandra Horowitz’s masterful and witty biography of two intertwined species fully captures the profundity, joy, and absurdity of our bonds with our closest animal companions. Our Dogs, Ourselves is a treat for dog lovers, but also essential reading for anyone interested in our relationship with nature, and what that says about us.” —Ed Yong, bestselling author of I Contain Multitudes
“In Our Dogs, Ourselves, Alexandra Horowitz has achieved the rare and admirable feat of combining hard scientific information with a storyteller's gift of detail and depth, a gossip columnist's gift for eavesdropping, and a philosopher's work of making us face the difficult aspects of our love of dogs—all the time re-enforcing the rightness of our choice to love them.” —Mary Gordon
“If you love dogs, and even talk to them, you’re going to rejoice at this entertaining and enlightening book.” —BookPage“History, facts and data are woven along with entertaining personal anecdotes and asides, allowing Horowitz's findings to be delivered in an appealing, accessible way that readers, especially dog lovers, will savor and absorb.” —Shelf Awareness
“Though grounded in extensive academic research, Horowitz's book speaks to a broad audience through personal anecdotes and relatable prose.” —Library Journal
