For the Love of Dog

This is a love letter penned to dogs by Pilley Bianchi. She shares the ups and downs of dog ownership through observations, lessons, and wisdom gained from her dog Chaser. Chaser was dubbed "the smartest dog in the world" before crossing the rainbow bridge in 2019. New Yorker and New York Times illustrator Calum Heath's charming black-and-white illustrations throughout add a unique graphic style, making this book an irresistible volume for anyone devoted to dogs.

For the Love of Dog takes the reader on a journey of all things dog. There are chapters that cover the history of dogs and how breeds developed. There is some insightful dog philosophy (i.e., What if we were to look at each other as if through the eyes of a dog, with the same capacity for enthusiasm and appreciation of others?), tips and tricks for good dog behavior, how dogs elevated to their current status as human's best friend, and much more.

Filled with practical advice and insightful knowledge, this lively illustrated volume teaches us how to better understand our dogs and forge a deeper bond with them.
