A Bark Magazine notable book for 2009.
"Charming, rich, intelligent ... and best of all, on every page Miles displays her love for Ari and dogs of every kind. I read it in one sitting." --Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of When Elephants Weep
"After a few generations of losing touch with nature, our eyes don't work so well anymore. So it's a fine idea to borrow another pair, especially if they're attached to a wet and useful nose."--Bill Mckibben, author of Deep Economy
"Exhilarating ... a fascinating and fun read. This exploration of the role of dogs in our lives never ceases to surprise. Kathryn Mile's writing is masterful, clean, and precise and her narrative is upbeat."--Janisse Ray, author of Ecology of a Cracker Childhood
"Kathryn Miles is a great writer. From page one, this sets Adventures with Ari above the pack of everything-I-know-about-life-I-learned-from-my-dog memoirs out there. She writes about her “caninaturalist” adventures—and how she invariably applies them to life among her two-legged friends and family members—with humor, skill and beauty, becoming herself the reader’s guide to a freshly discovered rural world." --E: The Environmental Magazine.
