"[This book] imagines a post-human 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. Drawing on biology, ecology, and the latest findings on the lives and behavior of dogs and their wild relatives, [the authors] ... explore who dogs might become without direct human intervention into breeding, arranged playdates at the dog park, regular feedings, and veterinary care. [The authors] show how dogs are quick learners who are highly adaptable and opportunistic, and offer compelling evidence that dogs already do survive on their own--and could do so in a world without us. Challenging the notion that dogs would be helpless without their human counterparts, [this book] enables us to understand these independent and remarkably intelligent animals on their own terms"--

"Many pet dogs are experiencing anxiety and frustration as they struggle to adapt to human home environments--despite being pampered, poofed, and petted, or perhaps in part because of this. 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"-- Provided by publisher

In einer von westlichen Werten geprägten Welt leiden Hunde unter eingeschränkter Autonomie und seelischen Problemen, trotz guter medizinischer Versorgung. Bioethikerin Jessica Pierce untersucht die problematische Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Hund und regt dazu an, Erwartungen zu überdenken, um das Zusammenleben zu verbessern.

In "Hunde ohne Menschen" untersuchen Jessica Pierce und Mark Bekoff, wie Hunde in einer Welt ohne Menschen überleben und gedeihen könnten. Sie zeigen, dass Hunde anpassungsfähig und lernfähig sind und bereits ohne menschliche Unterstützung existieren können. Das Buch fordert unsere Sichtweise auf Hunde heraus und fördert ein besseres Verständnis ihrer Unabhängigkeit.
