In a first-of-its-kind book, psychologist Dr Chris Blazina discusses humankind's hardwired need to make and sustain emotional attachments. We need these to not only survive but thrive. We see this from childhood throughout life. However, making attachments is not the same as knowing how to love. The discrepancy is part of the reason we live in a modern age characterised by loneliness, isolation, and a lack of community.
The response by a growing number of people is to make animal companions a primary source of close friendship and family. This bond has been around for more than 20,000 years. Humans and dogs have co-evolved together. In a series of essays, Dr. Blazina discusses common ways we struggle in our human connections and how dogs tutor us to find a more relational way of being. He draws from human and dog science and his own personal journey in learning to love.
