The Purest Bond: Understanding the Human-Canine Connection Hardcover – 14 november 2023
Aankoopopties en uitbreidingen
Dogs have been considered people’s best friend for thousands of years, but never has the relationship between humans and their canine companions been as vitally important as it is today.
With all of the seismic shifts in today’s world, rates of anxiety and depression have been skyrocketing, and people have been turning to their dogs for solace and stability. Amidst these dire realities, something wonderful has taken shape. In the United States alone, dog adoptions doubled during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As people have brought furry friends into their lives for the first time or seized this opportunity to deepen the connections they already have, they are looking to understand how owning a dog can change their lives.
Weaving together groundbreaking research and touching real-life stories, The Purest Bond is an “informative and fun” (Publishers Weekly) exploration of 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.

The Purest Bond does an incredible job at blending together scientific research and heartwarming anecdotes that illuminate what makes our relationships with dogs so special. This book is a “must read” for anyone seeking to better appreciate our special bond with dogs.” -- Dr. Anthony Osuna, Clinical Psychologist and dad to Pavlov the Corgi and Maslow the Keeshond

The Purest Bond by Dr. Jen Golbeck provides stories and heart to emotionally invest the reader, but also delivers the goods on the evidence front explaining why all dogs are good dogs.” -- Jason Zackowski, science presenter, chemistry teacher, dad to Bunsen and Beaker, the Science Dogs

5,0 van 5 sterren Pure enjoyment; pure education
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I highly recommend The Purest Bond by Golbeck & Colino. We know a strong therapy alliance is a critical factor in good therapy. Oh, the lessons we can learn from our furry friends. The book is filled with intimate stories and approachable scientific examples of how canine/human connections build systemic resilience in individuals, families, and communities. I read the hardcover and listened to the audio. Hearing Jen recount her love and loss is profound and moving. Recommend in all formats. 15/10 stars for this very readable and informative book!

5,0 van 5 sterren A great book
This is a great book, full of both scientific information and personal stories illustrating different aspects of the bond between dogs and humans. It is nuanced and honest, and its balanced and organized approach to different aspects of having a dog resonates and speaks to the reader. It's a careful, well-researched book, and very well worth the read. The passage on aging dogs will lead me to gift the book to my sister who is dealing with this; I know the humane, sensitive treatment of the subject will speak to her and should be helpful. Kudos to the authors.

5,0 van 5 sterren Great Book!
This book is so heartwarming and full of incredible information. Best of all, the dense scientific content is written in a way non-scientists can understand and sprinkled with lighthearted anecdotes. A must read for any dog lover!
