Books in the Dogs in Our World series

Over the years, certain dogs have improved and advanced the field of health care in myriad ways. In this book, the author presents the stories of these pioneer dogs. More than the dogs themselves, this book is about the human-animal relationship, and moments in history where that relationship propelled health care forward.

At age 60, Susan Hartzler has learned to accept, even love, the single life, provided she has good friends and a dog or two by her side. Thoughtful and funny, this memoir follows Susan's life through the many ups and downs on her way to finding unconditional love.

Details what the author has learned about the past and present of laboratory testing on dogs, life after laboratories and the hope for a future without animal testing. Interviews with rescue organisers and adoptive families reveal the struggles of removing dogs from laboratories and acclimating them to daily life.
