"[The book is] not only a well-crafted study of animals, humans, and their many channels of emotional attachment, it's a powerful intervention within the humanities more broadly - the dramatic unveiling, promised by the title, of the urgent necessity of taking the animal perspective seriously for understanding both nonhuman and human lifeways." -- Donovan Schaefer -- Animal Studies Journal
