Overview

A Collection of Essays About the Special Bond Between Women and Their Dogs One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of this anthology benefit publishing services and program grants for underrepresented women authors. ""Dogs and humans have co-existed for thousands of years. We have been hard-wired over countless generations to bond with each other. Oxytocin, the 'love hormone' that's released when we fall in love or give birth or nurse a newborn baby, is also released in the brains of both humans and dogs when we gaze into each other's eyes and snuggle. ""In 'Dog Years, ' the authors explore how dogs provide comfort and bring solace during our most challenging times. The wise dogs featured are a balm for loneliness. They help their humans navigate grief and loss. They teach their humans caretaking and confidence, and what it means to show up every day and be present. These essays illustrate the deep wisdom of our canine companions, and how, if we listen and watch carefully, they can teach us empathy, which allows us to see other dogs, people and ourselves with more compassion."" -Kate Hopper, editor, teacher and author of ""Use Your Words"" and ""Ready for Air""
