Studies show that dogs make life better. What does this mean for the everyday practices of dog owners? In this critique of the pet enrichment industry, Margret Grebowicz explores social life, work, and food, mapping the ways that dogs help humans develop better models for living. But this doesn’t mean that everyone should adopt a dog. On the contrary: creating enriching environments for dogs, she argues, begins with creating them for humans.
Margret Grebowicz’s most recent book is Rescue Me: On Dogs and Their Humans (University of Minnesota Press, 2022). Her writings have appeared in the Atlantic, the New Yorker, and the New Republic. She is Visiting Assistant Professor at Hampshire College and Associate Professor of Humanities at University of Silesia, Poland.
