I just read Loving Edie, by Meredith May, which is a memoir about adopting a golden retriever puppy that turned out to be extremely fearful. It's not really a guide to living with a fearful dog – you should get that information here – but many of you will recognize the emotional stages that the author experienced. I nearly cried several times reading it. At the end, I felt like it helped validate my love for my fearful puppy, while recognizing the struggles we have experienced.

I really enjoyed this. Bethany Brookshire takes the reader through mankind's complicated relationships with various animals, including Asian sparrows, cane toads, white year, and black bears. She is a very good writer and clearly understands the biology and science behind the issues she discusses. She also has a delightful sense of humor. She may cause you to re-examine the way you see wild animals in your life.
