    About this audiobook

    “If the animals knew about this book they would, without doubt, confer on Wayne Pacelle, their highest honor.”
    —Jane Goodall

    “The Bond is the best overall book on animals I have ever read. Brilliant and moving.”
    —John Mackey, CEO and Co-founder of Whole Foods Market

    “The Bond is at once heart-breaking and heart-warming. No animal escapes Wayne Pacelle’s attention; nor should his book escape any human animal’s attention.”
    —Alexandra Horowitz, New York Times Bestselling Author of Inside of a Dog

    The president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, the world’s largest animal protection organization, Wayne Pacelle brings us The Bond, a heartfelt, eye-opening exploration of the special bond between animals and humans. With the poignant insight of Animals Make Us Human and the shocking reality of Fast Food Nation—filled with history, valuable insights, and fascinating stories of the author’s experience in the field—The Bond is an important investigation into all the ways we can repair our broken bond with the animal kingdom and a thrilling chronicle of one man’s extraordinary contribution to that effort.

      This book covers every aspect of our relationship with animals. We go back in time to the early origins of our bond with animals and learn how our relationships evolved. We journey from factory farms to loving farmers, from those who profit from dogfights to those who dedicate their lives to saving those same dogs. Wayne Pacelle touches on the most horrific, as well as the best, of our interaction and treatment of the animals whose world we share. The politics behind our laws and the power of the lobbyists whose clients profit from all forms of animal abuse is staggering. For those already familiar with these stories, this book is a important reminder. For others, this book will be a stark awakening. For all, this is a heartfelt plea for those whose voices go unheard. ** I received this book as an early review copy from HarperCollins through NetGalley. **

      If you are already knowledgable about and active in the animal welfare movement, there's not much in this book that will be news to you. This is, however, an excellent introduction and overview of animal welfare history and issues. A great title for high school library collections.
