Reviews

"This is a deeply researched and lucidly written book. What is especially remarkable and admirable is the ethical stance that Chez takes. Animal ethicists from Peter Singer through Cary Wolfe and Barbara King have argued that animal lives matter to animals, and that is enough. Chez's history of dog representations in English and American fictions is an important addition to that literature." --Deborah Denenholz Morse, editor of Victorian Animal Dreams: Representations of Animals in Victorian Literature and Culture
