Jessica recounts countless, real-life events as she draws parallels with the struggles of dogs in our care. Her sometimes colourful and emotive language is a reminder of the realities we often face.

"O'Neill's new book cleverly draws parallels between her human home and work life, and the lives of dogs. Through the sharing of personal anecdotes and colorful stories, she is able to convey the intricate, complex, and rewarding relationship we have with our dogs. Her humour is delightful, as she lends a strong voice to "those yelling from the rooftops," working hard to change the way we think about dogs, "helping owners to reframe their understanding of what dog training should look like." O'Neill's knowledge and love of animals, dogs in particular, is palpable and comes across loud and clear, as she writes from a perspective of great empathy and understanding. This book provides readers with the motivation to develop a different perspective, one that can only enrich our relationship with these wonderful beings."
