A heartwarming meditation on the powerful presence of dogs in our lives and the transformative lessons they can teach us about love, loyalty, grief, and more

"When in doubt, walk your dog" is the first of many valuable maxims in Dog Lessons, a heartfelt reflection on what dogs can teach us when we open ourselves to listen and learn. After sixty-plus years living and working with dogs, Hersch Wilson shares self-deprecating stories and lighthearted musings on a life filled with fur-covered furniture, unexplained messes, and destroyed property. The resulting compendium of dog wisdom -- from universal values like loyalty and curiosity to practical lessons on napping, playing, and avoiding a serious fight -- is not only poignant but eminently good advice.


Review

"A truly beautiful book and a must-have for any dog lover's library."
-- Laura T. Coffey, bestselling author of My Old Dog

"Each chapter feels like an engaging walk in the woods."
-- Kathy Callahan, author of 101 Rescue Puppies

"Part meditation and part memoir, Dog Lessons takes readers off-leash to discover how our canine companions can unleash wildness, serenity, and joy."
-- Gary Kowalski, author of Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet

He has co-written three national business best sellers with his father, Larry Wilson, including the award winning, “Playing to Win!: Choosing Growth Over Fear in Work and in Life.”

Hersch attended Colorado College, quit his junior year to follow his passion, dance. He performed in Canada, Switzerland, and the United States. After that career ended, he graduated with a BA in English from the University of Minnesota.

Hersch and Laurie live in Santa Fe, New Mexico with their daughter Sully and two rescue dogs, Toby, a Great Pyrenees and Maisie, a terrier-chihuahua mix.
