The Magical Link (Love, Mystery and Other Secrets About the Bond Between People and Animals)

In The Magical Link, lifelong animal advocate and behaviorist Barbara Meyers delivers a stirring exploration into the bonds shared with companion animals in our homes, wildlife, assistance animals and others. Filled with sound advice and peppered with moving stories, fables and poetry, this book is a must-have for everyone whose life has been touched by animals. This richly illustrated, inspiring book explores everything from the ancient history of the human-animal bond to animals and children, animal law and animals in law enforcement, wildlife, those used for food, fashion and sport, society's objectification of animals and also celebrates and honors the love that can be found nowhere else but with animals. In-depth, it elegantly unravels the mystery of confounding behavior challenges in cats and dogs, the management of illness, hospice care, loss and grief, and the fascinating secrets of what lies behind them.
