Do humans take dogs for walks, or are the dogs taking us for a
ride? This book searches for answers with the eyes of an analyst
and the mind of a philosopher.This is a book for thoughtful
dog-lovers who want to sniff out the deeper issues raised by dogs
and their relationships with humans. Twenty philosophers and dog
lovers tell us about their experiences with dogs they have known,
and give us their (un-dogmatic) insights on dog-related themes of
metaphysics and ethics. Questions posed include: Do dogs live in
the same world that we do? Are we wrong to think our dogs have
personalities and emotions? What are dogs thinking and what's the
nature of canine wisdom? And, if dogs are our friends, why do we
think we can have them neutered?
