The Happiness of Dogs

‘Writing with zest, humor and passion, Rowlands blends delightful vignettes of his beloved dogs with fresh and radical answers to some of the oldest questions in ethics. This is a book everyone interested in animals and philosophy must read’ - John Gray, author of The New Leviathans
‘One of the most engaging and enjoyable works on philosophy (and, for that matter, dogs) I’ve ever read. Wise, profound, often very funny, I loved every page’ - Anthony McGowan
‘A masterclass in canine philosophy … A professor of philosophy and a serial dog owner, Rowlands has written a profound and funny examination of what it means to be fulfilled, both for canines and humans. By the end, you will envy your dog’s every waking moment’ - Tim Dowling, Guardian
‘A lovely meditation on what it’s like in our canine companions’ heads… At turns sad and profound… Dogs, Rowlands says, “love their lives more than we love ours”, which seems very true, and quite heartbreaking’ - Emma Beddington, Observer
