Inhaltsangabe

30,000 years ago, a wolf approached a human campfire. Today, its descendants wear birthday hats and their owners call them "children."

When did we stop seeing dogs as dogs? Why does a society that closes schools for lack of children open doggy daycares in their place? Is the love we give them an act of generosity — or a way to avoid the complexity of loving each other?

You're a Dog, and That's Enough is not a book against dogs. It's an honest exploration — with humor, scientific data, and the discomfort of someone who lives the contradiction under his own roof — of what we've done with the oldest relationship between two species.

From the genetics of domestication to the $320 billion industry that profits from humanizing them, from animal rights to the global demographic crisis, this book explores the uncomfortable corners of a topic everyone thinks is simple and no one can discuss without raising their voice.

Written with humor, data, and the questions no one dares to ask out loud.
