About the book:
From Jen Golbeck, the “internet’s dog mom” behind the massive social media platform The Golden Ratio, and award-winning science writer Stacey Colino, comes THE PUREST BOND: Understanding the Human-Canine Connection (November 14; Atria). This science-based, comprehensive exploration of the profound bond between humans and dogs is perfect for fans of Our Dogs, Ourselves and What the Dog Knows.
Weaving together groundbreaking research and touching real-life stories, THE PUREST BOND explores not just the social benefits of owning a dog but the science of how dogs improve our emotional and physical health, mental acuity, and our ability to focus and absorb information. Most importantly, they remind us of what’s right in the world—love, trust, affection, playtime, fresh air, and sunshine—even when so much feels wrong.
About the Authors: Jen Golbeck is the “internet’s dog mom” and creator of the social media sensation The Golden Ratio.
