We can do better for them. Who's a Good Dog challenges us to think more carefully about the limits we place on their inherited, deep-rooted behaviors. Bioethicist Jessica Pierce explores common practices of caring for, socializing, and training pet dogs. She asks broader ethical questions and helps us think more critically about what we expect of our dogs. She offers resources to help readers cultivate kindness and more mindful attentiveness. This work is about the art of noticing, of astonishment, of looking with fresh eyes (and noses!) at these dear beings we think we know. Pierce avoids judgement while taking a clear stance on important issues, connecting her research to her relationship with Bella, the dog in her life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 941 $a 8 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20240523010748.0 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515011550.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043822.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022532.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125012526.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20240109010327.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231005010407.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230902011258.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0D6098EC495611EE81BA178B42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
