I am an expert in the field of human-animal bond and a researcher in the area of animals working in therapeutic contexts. This book is reminiscent of many books that have come before it, and in our political climate is fairly conservative in its messaging. It is not a particularly relevant text, except as a collection of heartwarming stories. It's a pretty apolitical, outdated book that doesn't have a lot to add to contemporary conversations about human-animal relationships. (I may review this book in more depth on my blog in a future post on books about animals, at www.booksbeyondbinaries.blog)
