emotional funny informative medium-paced

5.0

Very informative and engaging! The topic itself is an interesting one, but the way Golbeck and Colino dive into different aspects of human-canine connections (from interacting with children to health benefits) really sold me. The sections about how a dog acts and how certain behaviours can be interpreted made me feel nearly ready to adopt a canine friend!

Minor: Bullying, Suicidal thoughts, Eating disorder, Pregnancy, Self harm, Injury/Injury detail, Cancer, Chronic illness, Panic attacks/disorders, Terminal illness, Car accident, Grief, Medical content, Toxic relationship, Dementia, Domestic abuse, and Pandemic/Epidemic

The book discusses how dogs (and to a lesser extent other pets) help people who experience many of these content warnings- nothing particularly graphic. There are 2 chapters regarding aging and death of pets, again nothing graphic.
