Pet lovers have always known that the bond between them and their pet is therapeutic. But now Dr. Becker illustrates this as a scientific fact. You will be amazed by the true stories: a dog that predicts the onslaught of heart attacks; little Spanky, who keeps his owner from going into depression when he has to have radiation; a cat who gives a senior a reason to live. Hippotherapy (hippo=horse in Greek), assistance animals, and more are prescribed by doctors for people with various ailments. Animals help people who have epilepsy, panic attacks, depression, cancer, seizures, and pain. Dr. Becker devotes some of the book to finding the best pet and getting the most out of your pet relationship. These remarkable real-life stories are punctuated by documented studies. If you didn't believe in the power of pets before, you will after reading this book.
