The Year of the Puppy: How Dogs Become Themselves

byAlexandra Horowitz

Alexandra Horowitz uses The Year of the Puppy to explore how dogs become themselves, moving beyond a simple overview to reveal the forces working underneath. Drawing on biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, the narrative gives The Year of the Puppy a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, how dogs become themselves becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within biography & autobiography and pets. The Year of the Puppy ultimately offers a nuanced guide to the evidence, the human stakes, and the consequences that make this subject worth revisiting.
