Dog Walks Man


Dogs and people have been together for a long, long time. The most recent estimates are that dogs have been human companions for 100,000 years. Dog owners are dog walkers, and we all—many of us at Orion are in this brother-and-sisterhood—know the secrets that are exchanged among person and canine, and the fellowship among fellow dog-followers. This is a great book for anyone in that camp. As the publisher notes, each chapter of Dog Walks Man is a bite-sized meditation on he wisdom derived from dogs and dog walking.

Publisher’s Weekly: “A very well-written and funny John McPhee–style approach to . . . dog walking. . . . Fascinating.”
