I am a professional pet sitter/dog walker. I have found this to be an EXCELLENT book. I recommend it for any pet owner. It is easy to understand, and the author sights many examples to clarify his point. I think I will buy several more copies to give to some of my clients. PLEASE read this before you give up a "difficult" pet. Please read it if you love your pet and want to provide the best for them. Please read it if you are even considering getting a pet.

I agree with Dr. McMillan's theories as I have observed first hand much of what he says in his book. I applaud his attempt at educating people to the fact that animals do have feelings which should be acknowledged, respected, and addressed along with their physical needs. Overall, I found the book interesting reading, though it was somewhat repetitious. The stories and his encounters as a veterinarian, however, kept my interest, and I feel better informed for improving the quality of life of my pets and rescue animals. That was my intention. I do recommend the book for anyone who sincerely wants to better understand the animal world.

This book is interesting and the author makes his point that animals have feelings with science, logic and life experiance. However, I agree with others when they say that the book was repeatative. If you read the intro and ch. 4 you've you can put the book down because the other chapter's don't say anything differant.

This book explains what motivates animals and their behaviors. Giving specific examples and suggestions for positively changing the behavior. Made me really think in ways that I hadn't previously.
