Description

Jessica Pierce explores the complex emotions that come with sharing our lives with pets. While we experience love and happiness from providing for their needs, there's another feeling - guilt - that can be just as strong.

Pierce, who has shared her life with various animals over the years, examines the ethics of pet-keeping through personal stories, philosophical reflections, and scientific analysis. She questions whether keeping pets is truly in their best interests and considers which species are suited to human relationships.

This thought-provoking book offers a nuanced perspective on our relationships with animals, providing pet owners with a deeper understanding of how to build stronger bonds with the creatures they care for.
