Sit, Stay, Heal: What Dogs Can Teach Us About Living Well
esjro avatar reviewed on + 988 more book reviews


In this memoir Dr. Renee Alsarraf tells the stories of some of her canine oncology patients and their families, while simultaneously telling the story of her own battle with cancer. This book could have been completely depressing but it is not, because the focus is on how modern veterinary medicine is able to extend the time dogs can spend with the people who love them, while maintaining a high quality of life. Anyone who has loved and ultimately lost a dog will enjoy this book.
