Afternoons with Puppy: Inspirations from a Therapist and His Animals

by Aubrey H. Fine

Afternoons with Puppy: Inspirations from a Therapist and His Animals Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Afternoons with Puppy is a heartwarming account of dynamic relationships and outcomes involving a therapist, his therapy animals, and his patients over the course of almost two decades. It is a narrative of Dr. Fine's experiences and the growing respect for the power of the animals effect on his patients and himself.

Book News Annotation:

This inspiring book is dedicated to the memory of a therapist's canine co-therapist. Fine (California State Polytechnic U.), an expert on animal-assisted therapy (AAT), and Eisen, a college instructor in New York state whose learning disabled son has benefitted from AAT, attest to the opening quote that "there is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face." They offer personal insights on the human-animal bond, young patients' letters to therapy dogs, resources, and photos of Puppy. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
