The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog

This was an interesting and revealing look at the intricacies of brain development and its effect and power over development. Perry also underscores the importance of relationships and human contact, especially in early childhood. If nature vs. nurture is still a debate, Perry falls on the “nurture or you will seriously screw up that kid” side. It's all very educational and kind of depressing, even if Perry tries to alert the reader to things that we as a society can do better to prevent these abuses. One of the early cases he explicated frustrated me, as it seemed that young Perry spent 4 yeaars not really helping a sexually abused girl, but perhaps it just shows that he is fallible like the rest of us.
