"Human-animal bonds" is a book category that explores the complex, emotional, ethical and practical relationships between people and animals across settings and genres. It includes memoirs and fiction that illuminate companionship and loss (pets, working animals, wildlife encounters), nonfiction that examines scientific, psychological and sociological research on attachment, communication and animal cognition, and practical guides about training, service animals and animal-assisted therapy. Works in this category often address themes of empathy, caregiving, interdependence and responsibility, as well as cultural, historical and conservation perspectives on how humans and animals affect one another’s lives. Readers can expect stories and studies that deepen understanding of cross-species connection and the impacts—personal and societal—of those ties.
