We love dogs and (we assume) we are loved by them. Even while we see ourselves in dogs, we also treat them in surprising ways. On the one hand, we let them into our beds, we give them meaningful names, make them members of our family, and buy them the best food, toys, accessories, clothes, and more. But we also shape our dogs into something they aren't meant to be. Purebreeding dogs has led to many unhealthy pups. Many dogs have no homes, or live out their lives in shelters. How is it possible we can treat the same species in these two totally different ways? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eOur Dogs, Ourselves--Young Readers Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eInside of a Dog\u003c\/i\u003e, Alexandra Horowitz reveals the odd, surprising, and contradictory ways we live with dogs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlexandra Horowitz is the author of the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller \u003ci\u003eInside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eBeing a Dog: Following the Dog into a World of Smell\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eOur Dogs, Ourselves: The Story of a Singular Bond\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThe Year of the Puppy: How Dogs Become Themselves\u003c\/i\u003e.
