The Forever Dog: Surprising New Science to Help Your Canine Companion Live Younger, Healthier, and Longer by Rodney Habib, Karen Shaw Becker
2.0
Repeat after me: Correlation does not equal Causation! Most everything in this book is about correlational studies of questionable quality. Or even worse, correlational observations.
In fact this book throw around a bunch of science words in completely bogus ways to make you think it’s science. The core concept is that exercise , body weight management and eating quality food can help you lead healthier life. Nothing new there.
What really got to me is the constant and redundant, repeating of every statement, multiple times. Book could be 1/3 the length of they stopped repeating themselves. And the constant. “I just told you something but I’m not going to explain until chapter x”. And then let me repeat that 4 more times. Oh yes I hate how they repeated themselves. When I want my dog to sit, I say “sit”. Once! I don’t say “sit”,”sit , “sit, “sit”, and then “in 5 minutes I’m going to tell you how to sit”. Stop repeating yourselves !!!
