Heal

“Beautifully written and superbly researched, Heal makes a compelling case for increased collaboration between the human and veterinary medical fields. Engaging and emotional, Heal is an important book for scientists, animal lovers and anyone interested in the vulnerabilities we humans share with animals.” — Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, MD and Kathryn Bowers, co-authors of Zoobiquity“Heal is a fantastic read for anyone that loves dogs (and cats) and has wondered what role animals should play in cancer research. Heal chronicles translational research in a way that is informative, understandable and heartwarming, making us cheer for cancer patients and the veterinarians that care for them. An Emperor of All Maladies for dog lovers, this book distills the science of cancer research down to the compassion and love for animals that drive us to find better cancer treatments for animals and their humans. Heal explores our symbiotic relationship with the pets that we share our homes, our beds, our cancers and, hopefully, our cures with.” — Dr. Sarah Boston, Veterinary Surgical Oncologist and Bestselling Author of Lucky Dog: How Being a Veterinarian Saved my Life“Anyone interested in translational science, innovative developments in cancer research, or treating pets with cancer will find this book a valuable resource … Readers will share Weintraub’s growing appreciation for the canine and feline subjects (and their owners) who are helping to advance cancer research.” — Publishers Weekly“Honest reporting … [A] useful and credible book.” — Bloomberg Businessweek“The author did a wonderful job researching the topics and presenting them in such a way that even the most difficult medical terminology could be understood by the common lay person. If you love dogs and want to learn how our faithful companions are helping us extend our lives, this is definitely a book to look into. I highly recommend it!” — Night Owl Reviews“This book is science, emotion and love of dogs all mixed together.” — Chicago Tribune“Ms. Weintraub has produced a fine book about the hope and possibilities that abound in today’s era of cancer research and treatment. This book is highly recommended.” — The ASCO Post“The efficacy of the trials, the cutting-edge treatments and the people involved are well documented. Her interviews are up close and personal … At every turn, Weintraub shows us the correlation between human and animal healing, and weaves in the story of her own healing from the loss of her sister.” — The Bark
