Using the steps in Zen Buddhism as a starting off point, this book offers insights, practical tips, and exercises you can use to bond with your adopted dog and achieve a more relaxed and enjoyable life together. While feeding, walking, and occasionally petting your dog is a good start, no matter how busy you are, you will be able to better connect with your dog by trying the suggestions in this book.
With entertaining stories about the author’s particularly idiosyncratic dog and the trials and tribulations that others have had with their rescue dogs, the author shows us that owners of an adopted dog can peacefully coexist with their pets. Observations and advice from animal experts at rescue organizations, vets, and experienced dog owners also provide insight about how to better succeed at understanding your adopted dog. Readers will also discover why adopted dogs are often best suited to rehabilitating humans in need.

- “Happiness is a warm rescue puppy, and a copy of Zen and the Rescue Dog. This wonderful, touching book articulates for so many what has helped bring the end of suffering thanks to the canine souls in their lives. For dog owners, for dog lovers, for students of Buddhism, and for anyone curious about all of the above and a path to happiness, this book is for you.” —William Norwich, Author of Learning to Drive and My Mrs. Brown
- “Buddhist masters tell us that the path to enlightenment requires us to live in the moment, without agonizing over the past or worrying about the future. It can feel like an impossible task, but if you live with a dog, you’re living with a highly sentient being that does exactly that. And in the marvelous and insightful book Zen and the Rescue Dog, KJ Fallon shows that the deeply interdependent relationships humans have with their canine companions help us to be centered and loving even if we never meet a monk or enter a monastery.” —Michael D. Lemonick, Chief Opinion Editor at Scientific American and the author of The Perpetual Now.
