Summary: This important book is a delight to read.
Review: Those of us who share our lives with animals know first-hand the "healing power of pets," yet it is still impressive to read example after example of the well-documented benefits gained by utilizing the bond between human and animals. And to top it all off, Dr. Becker presents this material in a heartwarming and interesting manner. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

Summary: A reader from WI
Review: We all have a sense that our pets make us feel better but Dr. Becker actually did the research and explains how, for example, our animal companions lower our cholesterol, settle our blood pressure, and generally improve our lives.What is refreshing is that he also looks at our pets' lives and shows how we affect them (and how we can make them feel better). This is a respectful, intelligent book about a bond that many of us feel, but few of us understand. -Clea Simon, author, "The Feline Mystique: On the Mysterious Connection Between Women and Cats"
