A Dog's World: Imagining the Lives of Dogs in a World Without Humans - Jessica Pierce

Descriere A Dog's World: Imagining the Lives of Dogs in a World Without Humans - Jessica Pierce

\n \nFrom two of the world's leading authorities on dogs, an imaginative journey into a future of dogs without people \n \nWhat would happen to dogs if humans simply disappeared? Would dogs be able to survive on their own without us? A Dog's World imagines a posthuman future for dogs, revealing how dogs would survive--and possibly even thrive--and explaining how this new and revolutionary perspective can guide how we interact with dogs now. \n \nDrawing on biology, ecology, and the latest findings on the lives and behavior of dogs and their wild relatives, Jessica Pierce and Marc Bekoff--two of today's most innovative thinkers about dogs--explore who dogs might become without direct human intervention into breeding, arranged playdates at the dog park, regular feedings, and veterinary care. Pierce and Bekoff show how dogs are quick learners who are highly adaptable and opportunistic, and they offer compelling evidence that dogs already do survive on their own--and could do so in a world without us. \n \nChallenging the notion that dogs would be helpless without their human counterparts, A Dog's World enables us to understand these independent and remarkably intelligent animals on their own terms.\n
