Not a bad read, but it wasn't quite what I hoped it would be. The author kept alluding to criticisms of humans' relationship with dogs that I find quite interesting, but he never really got into it. I've heard good arguments against anthropomorphizing dogs, for example, and while Garfield brought that up repeatedly he never gave much of a reason not to besides a fear of losing dogs' "dogness". I also just wasn't the biggest fan of his narrative voice. Nothing inherently wrong with it, of course, but his style seemed to jump around too much for me, and I think I wasn't very good at picking up on his jokes. But I did learn some interesting things about humans and dogs, so I can't complain too much!
