Acclaimed writer Lauren Slater took refuge from a troubled childhood through forging friendships with animals. In The $60,000 Dog: My Life with Animals, Slater explores the human need for animal companionship, and animals' roles in people's lives. She uncovers how people and animals connect - both through the lens of her own experience and throughout human history.
