Unique and compelling, Animals as Teachers & Healers invites us to reconnect with the boundless gifts of joy, wisdom, and deep healing that flow from our ageless and intimate relationship with the animal kingdom.

This book really touched me. The stories are profound and touching beyond words. Animals are definitely "man's best friend" and it seems to be proven over and over again in this book, with each tale telling a compelling and poignent story of how an animal touched the life of someone in need. In my own perception of it......animals are true angels, put on this earth to help us and guide us along our own journeys. We should be thankful.

This book helps us all come to terms with our love and respect for animals. Susan has a knack for observing and understanding the "higher species." What a beautiful book indeed.

Tell it like it is! I am a family doctor who keeps a copy of this book in my office for my clients and I to enjoy. I am an animist who lives by the support of all life, and I have experienced the valuable gifts that plants and animals give each other. I recomend this book to my clients who need healing, especially from major illness or the loss of a loved companion. Enjoy!
