Reader's Favorite 5 Star button

"Dog As My Doctor, Cat As My Nurse by Carlyn Montes De Oca is a fantastic book filled with heartwarming accounts of how animals can positively affect a person's health. By showing the reader amore holistic approach to addressing common illnesses, the author unravels many of the mysteries behind the pet/guardian relationship. This book is a delightful blend of scientific research mixed with The Tao of Pooh meets The Dog Whisperer. A must-read for those that want more than just "ownership" of a pet."
