Abstract

"For more than two decades, esteemed veterinary oncologist Dr. Renee Alsarraf treated cancer in her beloved canine patients. Then, at age fifty-one, she was diagnosed with cancer herself. For Dr. Renee, it was her patients -- those furry, four-legged, slobbering animals -- who seemed to uniquely understand her difficult journey and who showed her the true power of positivity and unconditional love" -- Provided by publisher.
