Instead, the collection of authors use dogs as a vehicle to just talk about their own issues and absolutely overshare personal circumstances. My favourite essay was Jessica Pan's The Master List as I think she endeared herself to me the moment she spoke about wrestling with a slobbering rottweiler as well as showing her terrified husband how she could put her head in his mouth and 'he could kill me but he chooses not to'. The essays showcase a wide variety of dog personalities, and what we might learn from them about aging and death, relationships, domesticity and wildness, and care. I needed a set of easily digestible, well written, and comforting essays about the best thing in the world… dogs.

However, for the most part I picked this book up every night for the past week or so and read one/ two stories at a time.Hotjar sets this cookie to know whether a user is included in the data sampling defined by the site's pageview limit.

Just as it was refreshing to have the funny piece by Ned Beauman, or the historic look by Chris Pearson, amid mostly melancholic ones. this book made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me feel nostalgic and most of all it made me grateful that I still have my little odi by my side (although I’m sure we’re getting to the end of our little story now too- she’s thirteen years old). dogs are honestly such special animals that we somehow just let into our homes, onto our furniture, even in our beds, and we get to know them on such a microscopic level that sometimes they feel like humans.
