Jessica Pierce

Jessica Pierce is an American bioethicist, philosopher, and writer. Early in her career, her research primarily addressed ethical questions about healthcare and the environment.

She is the author of numerous books on human–animal relationships, including Wild Justice, The Last Walk, Run, Spot, Run, Unleashing Your Dog, A Dog’s World, and Who’s a Good Dog?
