Animality

We often seek to better understand our human relationships with our parents, spouses, and children, but don't spend nearly as much time trying to do the same for the human-pet relationship. In her first book, ANIMALITY, Dr. Melissa Magnuson, DVM, brings readers on a breathtaking journey that closes the gap between men, women, children, and the animal world. "The connection between humans and their pets is far deeper, broader and more meaningful than most of us realize," she writes. This educational, spiritual, and emotionally moving book is from a veterinarian with 25 plus years of practicing. Chapters introduce readers to the concepts of zoobiquity and gestalt while also revealing how to communicate with your animal, how your animal serves as your mirror, and how to look for the miracle moments that are so life affirming for both humans and their beloved companions. BIO: Dr. Melissa Magnuson is a mom of three girls, owns three veterinary hospitals, and practices medicine and surgery five days per week. She sees all pets including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, reptiles, and pocket pets. Her hospitals are all AAHA accredited and employ 16 doctors and over 100 staff members.
