An short, yet in depth look at the relationships between humans and their pets, specifically dogs and cats. Margaret dispels much of the human myth about dog behavior, explains how to calm down dogs, or what they are trying to communicate to us (generally) unsuccessfully. She also talks about vaccinations and how they are unnecessary and unhealthy for animals for the most part after initial shots, how cats are natural carnivores and shouldn't be made vegan, absurd consumer trends, and generally how to live a happy and healthy co-existence with pets (your own or other people's).
