In A Small Furry Prayer, author Steven Kotler confronts a midlife crisis by teaming up with canine rescue advocate Joy and their ever-expanding pack of special-needs dogs. Relocating to a modest New Mexico farm, they transform Rancho de Chihuahua into a sanctuary caring for dogs with unique challenges.

Kotler weaves heartfelt rescue stories with insights from the latest neuroscience research. From the ancient history of humanity’s bond with dogs to cutting-edge studies on canine companionship, he explores how life among dogs can reveal deeper truths about ourselves.

Readers interested in animal welfare, psychology and spiritual reflection will find:

• A vivid account of day-to-day life at a dog sanctuary
• Profiles of rescued dogs and their journeys
• Accessible neuroscience findings on empathy and connection
• Reflections on purpose, community and human-dog relationships

Through personal anecdotes and practical examples, Kotler invites reflection on devotion, purpose and the extraordinary lessons offered by the furry residents of Rancho de Chihuahua.
