In an increasingly fragmented and disconnected society, dogs are often treated not as pets, but as family members and human surrogates. The New Work of Dogs profiles a dozen such relationships in a New Jersey town, like the story of Harry, a Welsh corgi who provides sustaining emotional strength for a woman battling terminal breast cancer; Cherokee, companion of a man who has few friends and doesn't know how to talk to his family; the Divorced Dogs Club, whose funny, acerbic, and sometimes angry women turn to their dogs to help them rebuild their lives; and Betty Jean, the frantic founder of a tiny rescue group that has saved five hundred dogs from abuse or abandonment in recent years. Drawn from hundreds of interviews and conversations with dog lovers and canine professionals, The New Work of Dogs combines compelling personal narratives with a penetrating look at human/animal attachment, and it presents a vivid portrait of a community—and, by extension, an entire nation—that is turning to its pets for emotional support and stability in a changing and uncertain world.

La gran mayoría de lo que queda del Bosque Atlántico está actualmente fragmentado, a menudo aislado y sin criterios de conservación ni planes de expansión. Lo que es peor, este mosaico forestal es poco conocido y estudiado, tanto en términos de fauna como de flora, lo que dificulta aún más la conservación de este bioma. El objetivo de este estudio fue llenar uno de estos vacíos. Durante un período de 14 meses, se estudió la presencia de mamíferos silvestres utilizando tres cámaras trampa en un fragmento de Bosque Semideciduo Estacional Atlántico de aproximadamente 145 hectáreas. Los resultados obtenidos pueden considerarse sorprendentes por la diversidad observada, especialmente en la familia Felidae, y denotan la necesidad urgente de estudios en este tipo de medio y, lo que es más importante, de una forma consolidada de protegerlos.

La stragrande maggioranza di ciò che rimane della Foresta Atlantica è attualmente frammentata, spesso isolata e senza criteri di conservazione o piani di espansione. E, cosa ancora più grave, questo mosaico forestale è poco conosciuto e studiato, sia in termini di fauna che di flora, rendendo ancora più difficile la conservazione di questo bioma. Lo scopo di questo studio è stato quello di colmare una di queste lacune. Per un periodo di 14 mesi, la presenza di mammiferi selvatici è stata studiata utilizzando tre trappole con telecamera in un frammento di foresta semidecidua stagionale atlantica di circa 145 ettari. I risultati ottenuti possono dirsi sorprendenti per la diversità osservata, soprattutto nella famiglia dei felidi, e denotano l'urgente necessità di studi in questo tipo di ambiente e, soprattutto, di un modo consolidato di proteggerli.

The vast majority of what remains of the Atlantic Forest is currently fragmented, often isolated and without any conservation criteria or expansion plans. What's worse, this forest mosaic is little known and studied, both in terms of fauna and flora, making the preservation of this biome even more difficult. The purpose of this study was to fill in one of these gaps. Over a period of 14 months, the presence of wild mammals was studied using three camera traps in a fragment of Atlantic Seasonal Semideciduous Forest of approximately 145 hectares. The results obtained can be said to be surprising due to the diversity observed, especially in the Felidae family, and denote the urgent need for studies in this type of environment and, most importantly, a consolidated way of protecting them.
