Mary Oliver's Dog Songs is a collection celebrating the poet's lifelong love of dogs through poems that capture their loyalty, joy, and wisdom. Through Oliver's characteristic clarity and attention to the natural world, the book explores how dogs teach us about presence, unconditional love, and living fully. The collection becomes both tribute to canine companions and meditation on what animals teach us about being human.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Oliver understood that dogs are philosophers who teach by example. These poems remind us that the best teachers are often the ones who never speak, and that paying attention to animals makes us better humans.
