I really loved this book, but I had to skip over the parts about the dog surgery (that is putting it sooooooo mildly). I recommend it, and I think it educates a very overlooked part of our lives as humans.

The science is really interesting but super traumatizing at the same time.

This is an excellent book. It does indeed lose some of its rhythms in the second half, but it's still very interesting. I enjoyed it, even on the parts I was grossed out!
