From two of the world’s leading authorities on dogs, an imaginative journey into a future of dogs without peopleWhat 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.Drawing 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.Challenging 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.

Scientists have long counseled against interpreting animal behavior in terms of human emotions, warning that such anthropomorphizing limits our ability to understand animals as they really are. With "Wild Justice", Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce unequivocally challenge this long-held view. Marrying years of behavioral and cognitive research with compelling and moving anecdotes, Bekoff and Pierce reveal that animals exhibit a broad repertoire of moral behaviors, including fairness, empathy, trust, and reciprocity. Animals, in short, are incredibly adept social beings, relying on rules of conduct to navigate intricate social networks that are essential to their survival. Ultimately, Bekoff and Pierce draw the astonishing conclusion that there is no moral gap between humans and other species: morality is an evolved trait that we unquestionably share with other social mammals.

As the state of the natural world declines, environmentally related health problems will increasingly shape the landscape of human health and disease. The confluence of several global trends - rapid population growth combined with an even more dramatic increase in natural resource consumption - drives ecological deterioration, and this in turn poses serious challenges to health. U.S. medicine and bioethics have too long ignored the relevance of these global trends to health care. This groundbreaking work is a call to attention. It brings bioethics and health care squarely into the 21st century.The book shows how environmental decline relates to human health and to health care practices in the U.S. and other industrialized countries. It outlines the environmental trends that will strongly affect health, and challenges us to see the connections between ways of practicing medicine and the very envrionmental problems that damage ecosystems and make people sick. In addition to philosophical analysis of the converging values of bioethics and environmental ethics, the book offers case studies as well as a number of practical suggestions for moving health care toward sustainability. The exploration of a hypothetical Green Health Center, in particular, offers an intellectual and moral framework for talking about environmental values in health care. Engaging and challenging, this book will appeal not only to health professionals and philosophers, but to anyone concerned about how to preserve and promote both human health and the health of the natural world.

From the moment we first open our homes - and our hearts - to a new pet, we know that one day we will have to watch this beloved animal age and die. The pain of that eventual separation is the cruel corollary to the love we share with them, and most of us deal with it by simply ignoring its inevitability. With The Last Walk, Jessica Pierce makes a forceful case that our pets, and the love we bear them, deserve better. Drawing on the moving story of the last year of the life of her own treasured dog, Ody, she presents an in-depth exploration of the practical, medical, and moral issues that trouble pet owners confronted with the decline and death of their companion animals. The Last Walk asks - and answers - the toughest questions pet owners face. The result is informative, moving, and consoling in equal parts; no pet lover should miss it.

A life shared with pets brings many emotions. We feel love for our companions, certainly, and happiness at the thought that we re providing them with a safe, healthy life. But there s another emotion, less often acknowledged, that can be nearly as powerful: guilt. When we see our cats gazing wistfully out the window, or watch a goldfish swim lazy circles in a bowl, we can t help but wonder: are we doing the right thing, keeping these independent beings locked up, subject to our control? Is keeping pets actually "good" for the pets themselves? That s the question that animates Jessica Pierce s powerful "Run, Spot, Run." A lover of pets herself (including, over the years, dogs, cats, fish, rats, hermit crabs, and more), Pierce understands the joys that pets bring us. But she also refuses to deny the ambiguous ethics at the heart of the relationship, and through a mix of personal stories, philosophical reflections, and scientifically informed analyses of animal behavior and natural history, she puts pet-keeping to the test. Is it ethical to keep pets at all? Are some species more suited to the relationship than others? Are there species one should never attempt to own?And are there ways that we can improve our pets lives, so that we can be confident that we are giving them as much as they give us? Deeply empathetic, yet rigorous and unflinching in her thinking, Pierce has written a book that is sure to help any pet owner, unsettling assumptions but also giving them the knowledge to build deeper, better relationships with the animals with whom they ve chosen to share their lives."

Pierce combines heart-wrenching personal stories, interviews, and scientific research to consider a wide range of questions about animal aging, end-of-life care, and death. She tackles such vexing questions as whether animals are aware of death, whether they're feeling pain, and if and when euthanasia is appropriate. Given what we know and can learn, how should we best honor the lives of our pets, both while they live and after they have left us?The product of a lifetime of loving pets, studying philosophy, and collaborating with scientists at the forefront of the study of animal behavior and cognition, "The Last Walk" asks - and answers - the toughest questions pet owners face. The result is informative, moving, and consoling in equal parts; no pet lover should miss it.

A New Scientist Best Book of 2023A guide to cultivating a shared life of joy and respect with our dogs. Who’s a Good Dog? is an invitation to nurture more thoughtful and balanced relationships with our canine companions. By deepening our curiosity about what our dogs are experiencing, and by working together with them in a spirit of collaboration, we can become more effective and compassionate caregivers. With sympathy for the challenges met by both dogs and their humans, bioethicist Jessica Pierce explores common practices of caring for dogs, including how we provide exercise, what we feed, how and why we socialize and train, and how we employ tools such as collars and leashes. She helps us both to identify potential sources of fear and anxiety in our dogs’ lives and to expand practices that provide physical and emotional nourishment. Who’s a Good Dog? also encourages us to think more critically about what we expect of our dogs and how these expectations can set everyone up for success or failure. Pierce offers resources to help us cultivate attentiveness and kindness, inspiring us to practice the art of noticing, of astonishment, of looking with fresh eyes at these beings we think we know so well. And more than this, she makes her findings relatable by examining facets of her relationship with Bella, the dog in her life. As Bella shows throughout, all dogs are good dogs, and we, as humans and dog guardians, could be doing a little bit better to get along with them and give them what they need.

Most dog books focus on how to change our companion’s behavior; very few ask how we might change our own.This workbook and journal, created by ethicist, celebrated author, and dog guardian Jessica Pierce, helps readers learn to live more mindfully with their dogs. Across ten chapters filled with exercises grounded in behavioral science and contemplative practice, Pierce invites readers to mirror their dog’s movements, savor shared silence, examine the impulse to command, reflect on past relationships with dogs, and prepare for the inevitabilities of aging and loss. She teaches readers how to view their dogs with the care of a field biologist—keeping notes, mapping relationships, and generally observing to better understand the dog’s world. She also challenges long-held assumptions about traditional dog training and asks whether our methods truly serve our dogs or simply reassure us as humans.Many readers of Pierce’s acclaimed earlier books asked for a practical guide to help them put ideas into daily practice. For both those readers and those new to her work, this workbook is her response: a human-training manual informed by science, ethics, and lived experience. Each chapter begins with a short introduction to orient the reader, followed by self-directed exercises, reflection prompts, and shared experiences from living with her dog, Bella. Annotated further-reading sections point to both accessible books and peer-reviewed research. With its blend of gentle guidance and intellectual rigor, this workbook helps readers cultivate a more curious, collaborative, and compassionate relationship with the dogs they love.

A compelling argument that the time has come to use what we know about the fascinating and diverse inner lives of other animals on their behalfWide-ranging studies of animal intelligence and emotions have enabled us to learn ever more about what animals think, feel, and want. However, this knowledge is not necessarily translating into more compassionate and respectful treatment of animals. The Animals’ Agenda critically addresses our relationships with animals in factory farms, research labs, and entertainment venues, as well as our interactions with pets and wildlife, exploring what we know of their capacity not only for pain and frustration but also joy and empathy. Using the latest science, renowned animal expert Marc Bekoff and leading bioethicist Jessica Pierce argue for a paradigm shift. They demonstrate that the current approach of animal-welfare science, while offsetting some of the worst aspects of animal suffering, falls far short of promoting true animal well-being and freedom.The Animals’ Agenda will educate and inspire people to rethink how we affect other animals, both unintentionally and intentionally, and how we can evolve toward more peaceful and less violent ways of interacting with our animal kin in an increasingly human-dominated world.

Was würde wohl mit den Hunden geschehen, wenn wir Menschen einfach verschwinden würden? Könnten sie ohne uns existieren? Hunde ohne Menschen spielt dieses Gedankenexperiment durch, erklärt, wie Hunde nicht nur überleben, sondern vielleicht sogar gut gedeihen würden und zeigt auf, wie diese neue Perspektive unseren jetzigen Umgang mit Hunden verändern kann.Auf den Grundlagen von Biologie, Ökologie und den neuesten Forschungserkenntnissen zu Hunden und ihren wilden Verwandten gehen Jessica Pierce und Mark Bekoff, zwei der innovativsten Vordenker in Sachen Hunde, der Frage nach, wie sich Hunde ohne menschliche Zuchtsteuerung, arrangierte Spieltreffs im Park, regelmäßige Fütterung und tierärztliche Betreuung sehr wahrscheinlich entwickeln würden. Sie zeigen, wie schnell Hunde lernen, wie anpassungsfähig und opportunistisch sie sind und legen uns schlagende Beweise dafür vor, dass Hunde schon jetzt ohne uns überleben – und es auch in einer Welt ganz ohne Menschen könnten.Dieses Buch stellt die Auffassung infrage, dass Hunde ohne ihre menschlichen Partner nicht zurechtkämen und hilft uns so, diese unabhängigen und bemerkenswert intelligenten Lebewesen um ihrer selbst willen besser zu verstehen."Wir mögen wahrscheinlich die Vorstellung, dass unsere Hunde ohne uns verloren wären – aber die Wahrheit könnte Sie überraschen."(Zibby Owens, The Washington Post)

"Todos los días aprendemos cosas nuevas y sorprendentes sobre la inteligencia y la capacidad emocional de los animales, algo que solemos obviar con demasiada frecuencia. Y así nos encontramos con que las ratas juegan y ríen –y, por consiguiente, muestran empatía–, o que podemos saber lo que sienten las vacas si prestamos atención a sus orejas y morros. A veces, nosotros, los seres humanos, transformamos este tipo de conocimientos en compasión hacia otros animales, como hemos podido ver recientemente en los casos del león Cecil o del gorila Harambe. Pero, en su conjunto, la creciente comprensión de lo que sienten los animales no está dando como resultado que los tratemos con mayor respecto.Un renombrado experto en comportamiento animal como Marc Bekoff y una destacada professional en el campo de la bioética como Jessica Pierce exploran el mundo real de lo que experimentan cinco categorías de animales, empezando por aquellos que sufren los mayores grados de falta de libertad y de elección –gallinas, cerdos o vacas en los sistema de producción industrial de alimentos–, así como por los animales que se utilizan en los ámbitos de la experimentación y la investigación, como ratones, ratas, gatos, perros y chimpancés. A continuación, los autores se ocupan de los animales en los que la noción de pérdida de libertad resulta más ambigua y controvertida, principalmente los ejemplares que se mantienen en zoos y acuarios, o los animales de compañía. Por último, revelan al lector las inesperadas formas en que la actividad humana limita la libertad de los animales que viven en libertad en la naturaleza, y abogan por un punto de vista más compasivo a la hora de enfocar el asunto de la conservación.En cada uno de los casos combinan estudios científicos con relatos de animales concretos, con el fin de enfrentar al lector a la maravilla de nuestros compañeros de vida, así como mostrar el sufrimiento que padecen y la necesidad de un profundo cambio de paradigma que de verdad les asegure no un simple bienestar cuanto un verdadero bien-ser.Un libro fundamental para educar y animar a la gente a repensar cómo nuestros comportamientos y modos de vida afectan a otros animales, y cómo podemos –y debemos– desarrollar formas más pacíficas y menos violentas de interactuar con ellos."
