Love, Miracles, and Animal Healing : A Veterinarian's Journey from Physical Medicine to Spiritual Understanding is the complete title of this wonderful book. From the author, Allen M. Schoen, D.V.M. e-mail:drschoen@juno.com. , February 1, 1999...

"I am grateful to be able to share my journey with you all I am touched by the hundreds of letters I have received in response to "Love, Miracles and Animal Healing". I feel the book is serving its purpose of touching animal lovers in a new way. I am also grateful that it shows people that there is more to healing than drugs and surgery! The future of animal health care is one that integrates the best of conventional veterinary medicine along with the healing power of acupuncture, herbs, nutritional supplements, massage and other valid complementary therapies along with the healing power of the human-animal bond. No one form of medicine has all the answers, if they did we would not need any others. That is why after practicing conventional western veterinary medicine and surgery for many years, I opened my mind to these other modalities which I discuss in the book. We should offer all reasonable opportunities to help animals heal. Healing can take place at many different levels, the mind, the body and the spirit. The healing process can go both ways as well, with us helping our animal friends heal and them helping us heal! It is all about the healing power of love! If you have some special touching stories about how your animal friends helped you heal or how you helped them heal or both or what your animals friends have taught you, feel free to send them to my e-mail address. Perhaps I will include them in my new upcoming book. I hope you enjoy my book and it helps you and your friends on their journey! Go forth and do good! "

* In the Company of Animals: A Study of Human-Animal Relationships (Canto) - by James Serpell
paperback - List Price: $13.95 Our Price: $11.16 You Save: $2.79 (20%)

Contrasting the way we love some animals while ruthlessly exploiting others, this study provides a detailed and fascinating account of the ways in which animal companionship can influence our health. It provides a key to the moral contradiction inherent in our treatment of animals and nature. What purpose, if any, do pets really serve? Are they simply an outlet for misplaced love? Or four-legged friends who help us to satisfy vital emotional needs? Whatever they are, when we elevate pets to the status of social companions, we undermine the distinction between human and non-human. In other words, pets force us to confront the moral contradictions inherent in our treatment of animals in general. Pursuing this idea to its logical conclusion, the author uncovers a fascinating and disturbing trail of myths, evasions and double standards which humans have used since earliest times to justify their subjugation of nature and other life forms. Through an exploration of the phenomenon of pet-keeping across history and between cultures, this thought-provoking study reassesses our relationships with animals and the natural world.
