Zoobiquity: The Astonishing Connection Between Human and Animal Health by Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, Kathryn Bowers

4.0

The theories and ideas in this book were very interesting. I don't know how much water some of them actually hold, but just about every connection between humans and animals that the authors propose is worth some thought. For example, is it actually true that surly teenagers avoid eye contact with their parents because of a subconscious instinct to avoid challenging an older or dominant figure, much as dogs avoid eye contact to prevent a fight? I have no idea. But it's an interesting thought, and maybe when my son is that age, I'll remember it and it'll make dealing with the reality a little easier.
