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."

"A truly masterful and inspiring work. Reading Carlyn’s words felt as though I was embarking on a journey of healing wisdom from over the ages. Her powerful message for humans and their animal friends is a must read for all animal guardians if we are all to thrive in our modern world. It is a great honor and pleasure for me to recommend this absolutely wonderful book."

"Loved it! Everything that Carlyn shares in her book is the truth about the benefit of pets and your health. I know people who are alive today due to their pet’s attitude, influence, and love. So read, learn, and get a pet!"
