Review
“Rory Freedman speaks Dog — and Cat and Cow and Guinea Pig. In Beg, she translates the barks, the moos, and the looks in those innocent eyes so we get the message: These beings matter more than we ever dreamed, first to their autonomous selves, but also to our very humanity. And she does this in writing so crisp, honest, and engaging that you won't put this book down — at least not until it's time to walk the dog.” Victoria Moran, bestselling author of Main Street Vegan and Creating a Charmed Life
