Scratch

Written By Tammy Metzger, M.Ed.

I only recently heard of Jay Jack when he was featured on The Bitey End of the Dog podcast.

This book is a memoir, not a dog training book. It is raw. It is authentic. It is fearless.

This definitely won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. In fact, some content will be down right disturbing to the sensitive consumer.

I highly recommend it to the appropriate people — I’m just not sure who those people are.

If you have interest in philosophy, this might be for you.

If you believe people can make mistakes, learn from them, and become better… this might be for you.

If you are yourself looking to explore life purpose and ethical codes, this might be for you.

As a fellow-Nietzsche fan, I found it insightful and compelling. It gave me a lot to think about, and reminded me of things from my past I’d long-forgotten. I got so much out of it, I’m sure I’ll be revisiting it soon. YMMV.
