The cases [Goldstein] builds and draws on are persuasive and provoking. There are many examples cited by Goldstein that prove that holistic approaches work. And work well.

The Barnstable Patriot

Goldstein has written a book that belongs on the bookshelf of any pet owner. His chapter on food and diet, for example, sent me running to read the ingredient list on my dogs food. By making a few changes now in how I view my dogs health, I may be able to improve the quality of their lives. To me, thats worth the price of any book.

Ft. Pierce Tribune

Im as passionate about animals as I am about basketball. And Dr. Marty is the Michael Jordan of pet care. He has cured my dog of serious hip problems and made me a believer in his visionary style of medical treatment. I recommend this book for anyone who cares about the health and longevity of his or her pet.

PART THREE

Whenever I read a book, I start with the acknowledgments and try to picture the network of people who have supported the writer, enabling him to complete his work. I realize that, like Academy Award speeches, these tributes should be kept short. But I also think it is vital to acknowledge those who have loaned that extra hand, since no one can really do it alone.

To brother Bob and sister Susan for playing this game with me;
To the very special people who were there during those times when extra support was needed: Karen Miller, Suzen Ellis, Cathy Soukup, Barbara Lazaroff, Milly Duncan, Barbara Newington, Rosemarie Frigerio, Andrea Eastman, Colleen Camp-Goldwyn, Carol Marangoni, Marty Leaf, and Cindy Meehl;
To Dave Worthen for being in a class by yourself;
To Dr. Martin DeAngelis, whose ethics and guidance have helped construct my walls of responsibility, and whose rigorous criticisms of this book in manuscript were so extraordinarily helpful;
To my cowriter Michael Shnayerson for your relentless support and intuitive communication, and for helping me convert my thoughts and work into this book;
To my editor, Peter Gethers, and my agent, Meredith Bernstein, for your faith in my work;
To all my staff at Smith Ridge, both past and especially present, for your incredible support and effort. Special thanks to Julie, Michael, Linda, Meg, and Nancy;
To Dr. Lawrence Burton, for your genius and dedication to the fight against cancer;
To L. Ron Hubbard, whose works have enlightened me on my path;
To Mom and Dad, may you already be back to read this;
To Roscoe, a golden retriever who introduced me to Helen, Paul, and Lena, and who serves as a fitting example of all the animals through whom I have made some of my dearest acquaintances;
To the rest of my family and friends, too numerous to list, for all your love and support.

And two very special acknowledgments:
To the healing force of Nature for always being there. And to the Animalsyour presence in my life has made it all worthwhile, and your absence would make it all so empty.
