This book made me appreciate my veterinarian! This book follows an animal surgeon through one day of his life at work. You meet several differnt people trying to find "miracles" for the furry family members. Dr. Trout really made me stop and think about what is important in life! What a rewarding, but tough career he has. I should have become a vet!
This book could be rated a 10! This is the best fiction book I've read in a long time! It's about life as viewed by a "man's best friend." This book is funny, heartbreaking, and heartwarming. Life would be so much easier if animals could talk to us in our language or if we'd just take the time to "hear" what our pets are telling us. And WHAT an ending! I loved this book!

I have always loved to read books about the Civil War, but my fortee wasn't the battle and strategy side of the war. I love to read about the social aspects, how it affected the lives of people. This is one of the best books I've ever read on that view point. It goes over people's thoughts on death, how soldiers tried to prepare for death before a battle, how loved ones tried to communicate with the lost sons/fathers/brothers and how death strengthened or weakened their religious beliefs. It discusses the different ways people coped with the lose of a family member or friend, the methods of burial and how the government tried to keep track of who was lost in battle. This is probably the ultimate book on the social aspect of the Civil War! What affects people's lives more than death!?

What a beautiful book! Pictures from the performance of these magnificent animals make up the book. The cds that accompany the book are just as beautiful! They encompass several kinds of music (I never dreamed I would enjoy opera type music, but I love it!)You can almost picture the horses dancing as you play the music! I leave this book out on the coffee table to look at occassionaly and the cds are always in the player! I highly recommend this book!
Nathan Winograd takes us back to the days when they drowned "excess" dogs and cats! This book tells the story of the struggle to make animal shelters in this country No Kill shelters and the barricades they've come up against. It's amazing the agencies that talk as if they care about animals, but sometimes their actions reveal their true side. All people compassionate about animals need to come together to make this a NO KILL nation and this book is leading the way!
