Anna Heyward
'The canine answer to Raising Hare or H is for Hawk' THE TIMES
'A touching memoir . . . leaving the reader feeling enlarged and enlightened' ELIF BATUMAN
'Erudite and deeply compassionate - a profound meditation on our relationship with dogs that will change the way you think and feel about them and, perhaps, the way you perceive yourself' MONICA ALI
'The perfect book for those of us who constantly gaze into the eyes of our beloved dog and don't really have a clue what we're seeing' TONY ROBINSON
'A beautiful, moving and heartfelt tribute to the most special relationship on planet earth - the bond between humans and our dogs' TONY PARSONS, author of Man & Dog
When Anna Heyward adopted Freddie, a rescued Italian greyhound, she was thrilled to bring a dog into her life. But Freddie, she quickly realised, had separation anxiety and was unable to be left alone. Some would have given up and returned the dog to the rescue centre but Anna, instead, became obsessed with trying to help Freddie, which meant putting her relationship, social life and job at risk. As Anna observed Freddie's behavior, she began to change - but not in the way you might expect.
Living with Freddie elegantly weaves memoir with animal science, and evolving ideas around behaviour and intelligence. But at its heart, this is a beautiful, heart-wrenching portrait of the relationship between a human and a dog. And at the end of Freddie's story, you, too, may find yourself changed.
'Moving . . . awakens a deeper sense of compassion for ourselves and dogs alike' Irish Independent
'Heyward writes with great clarity, heart, and frankness' SUSAN ORLEAN
'Compelling, vivid, and essential' SY MONTGOMERY, author of The Soul of an Octopus
'An extraordinary, beautifully written book . . . a stunning meditation on the bond between beasts and humans' MARC BEKOFF, Ph.D. author of Dogs Demystified: An A-to-Z Guide to All Things Canine and The Emotional Lives of Animals
'Heyward writes with sublime curiosity, uncommon lucidity, and an open heart-about her dog Freddie, yes, but also about love, devotion, suffering, natural selection, conditioning, and humans' relationship with the nonhuman world. I couldn't put it down' CAROLYN KORMANN©2026 Anna Heyward (P)2026 Penguin Random House Audio

Reseñas de la crítica
Sweet yet unsentimental . . . the canine answer to Raising Hare or H is for Hawk . . . Propping up snippets of personal reflection are carefully considered and crisp insights into theory and the science behind the bond between humans and animals.
Moving ... awakens a deeper sense of compassion for ourselves and dogs alike
Heyward is a sure-footed writer ... What she learned about pets could be applied to any ostensibly loving relationship, including those between humans
What a beautiful book - at once a touching memoir about loving a "difficult" dog, and a searching inquiry into what it is to be sentient, alive, and in hierarchical relation with other sentient living beings. Heyward zooms in and out between the everyday and the cosmic with dizzying and delightful ease, leaving the reader feeling enlarged and enlightened (Elif Batuman, author of THE IDIOT and EITHER/OR)
The perfect book for those of us who constantly gaze into the eyes of our beloved dog and don't really have a clue what we're seeing
Erudite and deeply compassionate - a profound meditation on our relationship with dogs that will change the way you think and feel about them and, perhaps, the way you perceive yourself
A beautiful, moving and heartfelt tribute to the most special relationship on planet earth - the bond between humans and our dogs
Part memoir, part animal science, Living with Freddie joins such triumphs as My Dog Tulip that seem to be about dogs but manage to be deep, incisive, and sometimes heartbreaking portraits of the people who are devoted to them. Heyward writes with great clarity, heart, and frankness about her struggles with a difficult dog, about the idea of behavior itself, and, most of all, about the nature of love
Compelling, vivid, and essential, Living with Freddie confronts the mystery of love, the nature of suffering, and the heartbreaking ways in which one may be inadvertently embedded in the other. This book should be required reading for anyone contemplating adopting a pet, or even raising a child. Please read these pages. You will come away changed
A gut punch of a book. Living with Freddie is a brave account of the challenges the author faced when living with Freddie, a rescue dog, for a year. Interspersed with behavioural research, the story allows the reader to begin to understand the ramifications of what living with humans means for a dog. A necessary and fresh angle on the way in which we co-exist with 'man's best friend'
