We'd love them anyway, because that's our nature.But there's a distinct advantage to having animals in our lives: they make our lives more interesting, more fun, more rich, and vastly more satisfying.In short, our lives are better together. In this book, Dr King explains how the animals we love can inspire our creativity and transform our shared lives. The premise is simple: 1. We animal lovers are drawn to animals, and to certain individuals in particular. 2. These animals make our lives better, because loving them and being loved in return makes us feel good, and that changes everything. It makes us more creative and confident, inspired and intrepid, and thus better able to realize our goals. 3. When we deliberately cultivate these good feelings, looking for them and reveling in them, we can then harness their power to create and shape the life we want. 4. Our animals' lives are made better in return because they, too, thrive on being loved and cherished. "I wrote this book for animal lovers everywhere. Part memoir, part instruction manual, it's the book I wish I'd read 20 years ago!"

One veterinarian's reverie on caring for our animals (and ourselves). "This book is as much a series of 'Notes to Self' as it is a guide for anyone else. I forget or ignore these little gems and need to remind myself of them almost daily. In fact, that may be our biggest struggle as modern humans: to get over our clever, sophisticated selves and act simply as nature designed us, as an interwoven and inseparable part of all life. That might just be my most important Note to Self."

Our ability to notice things and make observations using precise language is one of the foundations needed for the development of critical reasoning skills and abstract thinking.This book helps build the observation skills needed to critically observe and describe what we see.

It makes a huge difference to their life; stress goes down, they get a pet, they finally get the chance to establish a home.It’s lucky they’ve found somewhere to stay long-term because, shortly after moving into 58 Green Street, Anna has a car accident which gives her epilepsy.
