A leading anthrozoologist and the bestselling author of Dog Sense
and Cat Sense explains why we are so drawn to pets. Historically,
we relied on our pets to herd livestock, guard homes, and catch
pests. But most of us don't need animals to do these things
anymore. Pets have never been less necessary. And yet, pet
ownership has never been more common than it is today: half of
American households contain a cat, a dog, or both. Why are pets
still around? In The Animals Among Us, John Bradshaw, one of the
world's leading authorities on the relationship between humans and
animals, argues that pet ownership is actually an intrinsic part of
human nature. He explains how our empathy with animals evolved into
a desire for pets, why we still welcome them into our families, and
why we mourn them so deeply when they die. Drawing on the latest
research in biology and psychology, as well as fields as diverse as
robotics and musicology, The Animals Among Us is a surprising and
affectionate history of humanity's best friends.
