Moving seamlessly between memoir, case law, and film, Dayan takes politics and animal studies in a new direction one that gives us glimpses of how we can think beyond ourselves and with other beings. Her unconventional perspective raises hard questions and renews what it means for any animal or human to live in the twenty-first century. Nothing less than a challenge for us to confront violence and suffering even in the privileged precincts of modernity, this searing and lyrical book calls for another way to think the world. Theoretically sophisticated yet aimed at a broad readership, With Dogs at the Edge of Life illuminates how dogs and their struggles take us beyond sentimentality and into a form of thought that can make a difference to our lives.
