Book Description by Author - Pilley Bianchi

My father, John Pilley, and his dog Chaser made international headlines when their formal research went globally viral. By teaching Chaser thousands of words, a scientist in his 80s and our family dog gave the world scientific affirmation that dogs are smarter than we think; 

I not only had the honor of collaborating with them behind the scenes, but I’m also continuing their legacy. Chaser’s understanding of human language was massive, but I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg. What if dogs are the mythical and magical that we have sought for thousands of years? 

My father emphasized that science needed to work harder to deliver valuable information to the masses in ways that we can understand and see ourselves. This is what I’m sharing in my new book with Illustrator Calum Heath. Calum and I have mapped out a visual journey built on the science, philosophy, and history of dogs, revealing that dogs are truly the unicorn of species. The illusive model of the divine.

For years we have been exploring the intelligence of primates, birds & dolphins, while the most extraordinary species lies in wait at our feet. The only species on the planet that has shared an evolutionary process with us for over 40,000 years, but what does this mean?

It means that the bond you share with your dog is not only emotional, it’s grounded in science. But let’s explore that even further. I also believe that dogs are true gateway not only to the natural world, the metaphysical world and our own 2-legged species.

For the Love of Dog is a wondrous exploration of all dogs, but more specifically, your dog. Dogs live short, beautiful lives, demonstrating the purest form of love and loss. And in the simplest of ways, they show us that we all want the same things. To start the day with an enthusiastic partner, have some fun and messy parts in the middle and ending the day with someone to cuddle with at night.

How about we take a page from their playbook?
