Summary: "Pawsitively" Therapuetic Reading
Review: I purchased this book because I have seen first hand the miracle of pets as therapeutic healers. My daughter gained much confidence about her Cerebral Palsy during Therapeutic Horseback Riding, eventually enough to own the most wonderful "therapist" named Penny. Their connection was so strong that Penny took great care of Ashley while on their "venting rides", where Ashley told her the most special of thoughts.
I am also a member of the Visiting Pet Program and the bond between our volunteers and their animals and what they hope to accomplish at every visit is extraordinary. Molly is a very special animal, a breed of her own, a "Gaffneyhound" who brings love and smiles to all she visits.
Our VPP group is proud of Molly and Lee, and you will enjoy the "tails" in this book about all of the special animals and their humans.

Summary: A Clear, Beautifully Told Collection of Pet Therapy Stories
Review: Jacqueline Crawford and Karen Pomerinke have truly found words to express both the realistic descriptions and the emotional experiences involved in pet therapy. They have hit on so many of the miraculous benefits of this activity, demonstrating how the joy of participation goes both ways - to the recipient as well as to the donor. The book is well organized and documented with many descriptive photographs. It covers the surprisingly wide range of species involved in theraputic activities, proving that the animal-human bond extends beyond the canines, and therefore enlightning its importance. This book is a "must" for everyone involved in the healing professions.

Summary: Therapy Pets: The Animal-Human Healing Partnership
Review: This is a perfect sized, nicely chosen selection of stories about visiting animals. I am honored that one of my own is included. After nearly a decade of visiting with our certified therapy dogs in a wide variety of settings, our rewards continue to be the reactions of the people we see, and the growing numbers of new "recruits" joining the ranks of therapy animal visitors. If you're someone who enjoys curling up with your special animal, settle in for a good read.
