  Since first domesticating the chicken thousands of years ago, humans have become exceptionally adept at raising them for food. Yet most people rarely interact with chickens or know much about them. In Under the Henfluence, culture reporter Tove Danovich explores the lives of these quirky, mysterious birds who stole her heart the moment her first box of chicks arrived at the post office. 
   
   
   
  From a hatchery in Iowa to a chicken show in Ohio to a rooster rescue in Minnesota, Danovich interviews the people breeding, training, healing, and, most importantly, adoring chickens. With more than 26 billion chickens living on industrial farms around the world, they’re easy to dismiss as just another dinner ingredient. Yet Danovich's reporting reveals the hidden cleverness, quiet sweetness, and irresistible personalities of these birds, as well as the complex human-chicken relationship that has evolved over centuries. This glimpse into the lives of backyard chickens doesn't just help us to understand chickens better—it also casts light back on ourselves and what we've ignored throughout the explosive growth of industrial agriculture. Woven with delightful and sometimes heartbreaking anecdotes from Danovich's own henhouse, Under the Henfluence proves that chickens are so much more than what they bring to the table.

  The moving story of the author’s adopted Rottweiler mix, Lou, a free-thinking heroic dog who changed his life forever.“Lou’s story is an emotional and deeply delt tribute to the powerful bond between dogs and humans. Last Dog on the Hill will make you long for that one special superdog that can truly change your life. We should all be so lucky to have a dog like Lou in our world.” —Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the RainBorn of guard dogs on a secret marijuana farm in Mendicino County, California, Lou truly was one dog in a million. On the winter day that the ailing, tick-infested feral pup was rescued by Steve Duno, neither dog nor man had a clue as to what they were getting into . . .Last Dog on the Hill tells the story of an indigent young Rottweiler mix who went on to change the lives of hundreds of dogs and people, including the author's, whose career as a pet behaviorist was made possible through Lou's extraordinary intelligence and heart. Lou won the respect of gang members, foiled an armed robbery, caught a rapist, fought coyotes and kidnappers, comforted elderly war veterans and Alzheimer patients in their final days, taught ASL to kids, learned scores of unique behaviors and tricks, amassed a vocabulary of nearly 200 words, and helped rehabilitate hundreds of aggressive dogs, saving them from euthanasia. Lou was also a clown, a consummate performer, and Steve’s best friend for sixteen years. His inspiring story will resonate with anyone who has ever loved a dog.“Last Dog on the Hill is a wonderful mixture of humor, heartbreak, and high jinks. I couldn’t put it down. Lou will steal your heart.” —Janet Evanovich, New York Times–bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum series
