0722: Author Anna Heyward

Author Anna Heyward discusses Living with Freddie: How a Dog Taught Me to be Human . It’s an exercise in close looking, as she seeks to understand her rescue dog Freddie’s thoughts, actions, and motivations – not through writing from his perspective or daydreaming about what he might be thinking, but by studying his every move and, through trial and error, painting a striking portrait of our relationship to nonhuman beings.
