For veterinarians and other animal-caregivers as well as the animals' owners, the loss of a pet by any means can be even more painful in today's more complex and stressful world. Veterinarian Myrna Milani uses her 35+ years of experience in animal health, behavior, and the human-animal bond to help readers achieve 3 goals: Prevent the preventable causes of pet loss; prepare ourselves and others for losses that can't be prevented; and ensure that regrets don't hamper the healing process. "You can never replace a lost pet, but with insights into your own feelings about your pet, you can go on to find peace. This book is the first step in gaining that insight." Alan M. Beck, Purdue University School of Veterinary medicine, author of "Between Pets and People"
