Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Author McElroy obviously loves and has a great deal of empathy for animals. Her premise here is that animals have a more significant role in our lives than is generally accepted. Exploring the psychological and spiritual bonds between various people and animals, she reads letters and talks of her own experiences. Examining the evolution of animals in our society, she indicates that we have lost much of our ability to truly appreciate our domestic animals and those in the wild. Much discussion is devoted to the terrible destruction?and the beginning of restoration?of the wolf. McElroy does not sugar-coat her message about our role, our relationships with, and our responsibility toward the animals in our care. To some listeners, this will be a little esoteric and lacking in solid fact for their liking. Those less concerned with scientific evidence will enjoy the stories and letters that she shares. Libraries serving large numbers of animal lovers and cancer patients (McElroy includes inspiring bits about her experience as a cancer survivor) should be interested.?Carolyn Alexander, Brigadoon Lib., Salinas, Cal.

Have you ever considered how your pet (or someone else's) has affected your life? In ANIMALS AS TEACHERS AND HEALERS, the power of animal energy is recognized for its amazing strength in treating and educating human beings. As a cancer survivor, McElroy reflects with tenderness about how her dog, Kisha, who, ironically, was lost to a similar cancer, taught her to appreciate each moment in life. There are many enlightening animal/human stories relayed empathetically by McElroy. The audiobook presents a thesis she believes in and her certainty comes through in her performance. While the concept of animals as healers may sound strange, this audiobook offers very good arguments and deserves careful consideration. R.A.P.
