In the Woods
Guardians
Dogs, cats, and the speed of love
William Vincent Carleton
Drawn from a Saturday walk in the cold, Guardians considers dogs, cats and the children who love them. Dogs have taken many shapes alongside people; cats have stayed closer to their own counsel. Neither, the book says, is a thing you have: both are lives you keep faith with. A gentle In the Woods book about showing up, respecting what cannot be forced, and learning to be kind.
