About the Book

Dr. Slack draws from his 35 years of veterinary practice on two continents, Australia and America, to explore this wonderful mystery of human-animal bonding.

Book Synopsis

Dr. Slack draws from his 35 years of veterinary practice on two continents, Australia and America, to explore this wonderful mystery of human-animal bonding. He writes how his clients' pets touched their lives - the warmth of a cat curled in the lap of an elderly lady, the laughter of a latchkey child at play with his dog, a pet helping a boy survive the chaos of an alcoholic parent - the many magical ways the bond between us brings joy into our human world.

He reflects on how his own pets, Shilo and Bailee, taught him the art of living in the moment and about how our bonds become a great source of comfort at all stages of life, for both species. Through our pets, we humans can learn the secret of how to be our best selves - for all those we love - human and animal.

Review Quotes

"Tails is a powerful and affecting read. If you love dogs or cats, I doubt you will be able to put it down once you start reading it. Every story is made easily accessible to us non-veterinarians through Dr. Slack's perceptive telling of the profound life moments we experience with our pets - oftentimes laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes emotionally poignant, but always engaging with a sly linguistic wit." - Jim Sayles, Spokane, WA

Great for everyone

I really enjoyed this book. I'm not a typical reader, but it was easy for me to digest and relate to the stories in the book. Couldn't recommend enough.
