Mariam Motamedi Fraser's "Dog Politics" delves into the complex relationship between humans and dogs, challenging conventional wisdom surrounding the 'dog-human bond.
' The book critically examines the scientific narratives that shape our understanding of dogs, questioning the assumptions underlying the concept of species and its implications for how we treat animals.
Fraser explores the historical context of these narratives, tracing their evolution through various scientific and social shifts.
The author also investigates the practical consequences of these narratives for dogs' well-being, highlighting the need for a more nuanced and ethical approach to understanding and interacting with our canine companions.
Ultimately, the book encourages a critical re-evaluation of our relationship with dogs, urging us to move beyond simplistic notions of species and embrace a more holistic understanding of animal lives.
