Love, Animals, and Miracles: Inspiring True Stories Celebrating the Healing Bond - Hardcover

by Bernie S. Siegel (Author), Cynthia J. Hurn (With), Allen M. Schoen (Foreword by)

Dr. Bernie Siegel has long observed how relationships with animals have helped his patients, alleviating their suffering and heartbreak. Now, he's gathered many inspiring true stories, including delightful tales from the "Siegel Family Zoo" where "squawks, purrs, chirrups, squeaks, barks, and so on" fill the house. Other stories reveal animals as teachers and messengers, doctors and nurses, healers and miracle workers, and often as guileless clowns. Bernie writes that animals are here to show us how to be nonjudgmental and live better, healthier lives. Let these stories teach you, and apply their lessons to your daily life. If you have an animal, an appreciation for the inspirational, or simply the need for a smile, you'll treasure this celebration of animals as a source of love, wisdom, and miracles.
