But sometimes we also feel guilt. When we see our cats gazing wistfully out the window, or watch a goldfish swim lazy circles in a bowl, we cant help but wonder: Are we doing the right thing, keeping these independent beings locked up, subject to our control? Is keeping pets actually <em>good</em> for the pets themselves?</p><p>Thats the question that animates Jessica Pierces powerful <em>Run, Spot, Run</em>. A bioethicist and a lover of pets herself (including, over the years, dogs, cats, fish, rats, hermit crabs, and more), Pierce explores the ambiguous ethics at the heart of this relationship, and through a mix of personal stories, philosophical reflections, and scientifically informed analyses of animal behavior and natural history, she puts pet-keeping to the test. Is it ethical to keep pets at all? Are some species more suited to the relationship than others? Are there species one should never attempt to own? And are there ways that we can improve our pets lives, so that we can be confident that we are giving them as much as they give us?</p><p>With gentle humor, clear compelling language, and always in search of the physically and emotionally healthiest lives possible for our animal companions, <em>Run, Spot, Run</em> moved me all the more because its written from the inside looking out.
