“Dogs…serve as a sort of balm to the mental health struggles and ongoing
stress that are plaguing people worldwide. Our canine companions help us feel
grounded and present-minded, leading by example,” writes authors Jenn Golbeck (The
Golden Ratio Cookbook) and Stacey
Colino (Unlock
Your Menopause Type). In The Purest Bond: Understanding the Human-Canine Connection, they present an entertaining, insightful treatise on the
impact dogs have on human life. This writing duo--with accomplished backgrounds
in academic, scientific, and psychological issues--weaves together groundbreaking
research and down-to-earth stories that explore the many benefits of the human-canine bond.
Supported by scientific information, the narrative weaves in
psychological studies examining how dogs impact, support, and improve the
mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the human condition. A thorough
section on aging dogs and coping with loss and grief is most compassionately
rendered.
“In exchange for us feeding, loving, and caring for them, (dogs) pay us
back many times over.” The gratifying research culled and entertainingly presented
by Golbeck and Colino, will change the lives of dog
lovers and readers similarly.
