À propos de cet audio

 Bestselling author and internationally renowned animal psychologist and dog trainer Patricia McConnell “gives a voice to those who can’t speak in words and provides hope for fearful animals everywhere” (Temple Grandin) in this powerful and uplifting memoir about healing.

World-renowned as a source of science and soul, Patricia McConnell combines brilliant insights into canine behavior with heartwarming stories of her own dogs and their life on the farm. Now, she reveals that it wasn’t just the dogs who had serious problems. For decades Dr. McConnell secretly grappled with her own guilt and fear, which were rooted in the harrowing traumas of her youth.

Patricia is forced to face her past by her love for a young Border Collie named Will, whose frequent, unpredictable outbreaks of fear and fury shake Patricia to her core. In order to save Will from this dangerous behavior, she must find her own will to heal, and along the way learn that will power by itself is not enough.

Interweaving enlightening stories of her clients’ dogs with tales of her deepening bond with Will, this is a “compassionate account of the reclamation of the author's life from abuse and shame. An uplifting story of hope about how both dogs and humans need "a sense that they are not helpless victims" (Kirkus Reviews).

This book was great, but I wasn't always in a good place to be hearing about the author's molestation or rape. unlike in a paper book, I couldn't exactly skim ahead and decide to save the chapter for another time. that said, what a brave and open-hearted book. I highly recommend it to people who love dogs and to people who love autobiographies, just be ready for some heavy stuff.

TW: molestation of a minor, rape, trauma

so much of this is relatable to me. Not the trauma per se but the connection of dog to human and how they bring out so much self reflection and teach us so much about ourselves. Thank you for this. I needed to hear your story.
