UTOPIA NEARER TO HEAVEN: 1/4 A Dog's World: Imagining the Lives of Dogs in a World without Humans, by Jessica Pierce and Marc Bekoff

https://www.amazon.com/Dogs-World-Imagining-without-Humans/dp/0691196184

A Dog’s World imagines a posthuman future for dogs, revealing how dogs would survive―and possibly even thrive―and explaining how this new and revolutionary perspective can guide how we interact with dogs now.
