Description

Nearly everyone who cares about them knows that dogs and cats have a sense of self that renders them unique. Traditional science and philosophy declare such notions abut our pets to be irrational and anthropomorphic. Animals, they say, have only the crudest form of thought and no sense of self at all. Leslie Irvine's "If You Tame Me challenges these entrenched views by demonstrating that our experience of animals and their behavior tell a different story.
