　　"This is not another handbook for behavior training, nor is it about teaching you twenty ways to solve your pet's problem behaviors. 'On the Way Home with Them' is more like a collection of stories about parent-child relationships, but with one side being a cat or dog that doesn't speak human language, which makes things much more interesting!" — Dr. Lin Wei-Chen, Founder of The Thinking Dog Behavior Vet Team

 

　　Not having children, but raising pets. This is an unstoppable cultural trend. But when we say "your children are not your children," the same principle can be applied to our furry friends. Furry friends are not just pets or playthings; like humans, they have complex and delicate emotional and social needs. Therefore, many behavioral veterinarians prefer to call them "companion animals."

 

　　For Hsu Li-Ning, the author of "On the Way Home with Them," to live harmoniously under one roof with a "companion," besides love for the other half, some "basic knowledge" is also required to resolve our unreasonable expectations of "companion animals": How can humans, who communicate with language, and animals, who communicate with body language, interact? As humans (owners), can we truly never say "rehome" under any circumstances? Can a dog, living on a different time scale than humans, really be a child's "older brother"?...

 

　　No matter what stage you are in with your companion animal—ambiguous, passionate, adapting, or feeling weary—the cases and knowledge shared in "On the Way Home with Them" can provide valuable advice for your successful relationship with them.
