Description:
This magnificent collection of interviews and photographs examines the undeniable connection between pet and owner, a connection that goes far deeper than mere companionship. Cartoonist Gary Larson shares his life with Murray, a brindled bullmastiff; actress and comedienne Carol Burnett simply could not do without her cat Roxie; and Paul Irwin, president of the Humane Society of the United States, maintains a deep bond with his beloved Chihuahua mix Porsche, whom he rescued from a midwestern animal shelter. No scientific data or expert opinions are necessary to prove what these pet owners already know: the relationship between people and their pets is a complex and rich bond from which both participants greatly benefit. Roger Caras's text lacks the somewhat sweetened ramblings that one often finds in pet books, instead poignant and pointed, and Shel Secunda's accompanying photographs of the owners and their pets are stunning.
