What if the clearest path to joy, presence, and radical love wasn't found in a temple — but in a muddy paw print? In the spirit of The Tao of Pooh and The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, The Tao of Dogs offers bite-sized, tail-thumping truths from two unlikely sages: Groot, a cuddly black Lab who treats joy like a mission, and Rocket, a zoomie-prone Jack Russell with no off-switch and zero regrets. This is not a novelty gift book. It's not about training your dog, either. It's about un-training yourself — from anxiety, from perfectionism, from the endless chase for more — by learning from those who've mastered the art of now. Each short, poetic chapter distills one dog's-eye lesson in how to live: Zoom when they expect you to nap Circle before you settle Trust the leash sometimes Let joy be loud Don't fake sleep when you're sad Say yes with your whole body Wise, irreverent, and unfiltered, this book belongs next to your meditation guides, not your chew toys. Whether you're a dog lover, a spiritual seeker, or someone trying to find your way back to joy — The Tao of Dogs is a nuzzle, a nudge, and a reminder: You don't need to be calmer, wiser, or better. You just need to show up, tail wagging.
