The best medicine may not always be found at a pharmacy or in a doctor’s office. Sometimes it comes in the form of a four-legged friend. Three well-known leaders in their fields—award-winning dog photographer Jesse Freidin, adolescent HIV+ specialist Dr. Robert Garofalo, and LGBTQ advocate and journalist Zach Stafford—offer a refreshing, beautiful, and unique portrait of HIV infused with a deep message of hope. Each extraordinary profile shows the power of the incredible bonds between humans and their canine companions, whether that means combating loneliness and stigma, discovering the importance of unconditional love, overcoming addiction, or simply having a best friend in a time of need. When Dogs Heal shares the stories of a diverse set of people who are thriving and celebrating life thanks to the compassion and unconditional love of their dogs. A portion of the proceeds from this book benefits Fred Says, an organization dedicated to financially supporting HIV+ teen health care.

Increasingly, medicine is recognizing the special relationship between pets and people as one of the most powerful weapons in fighting disease, treating chronic conditions, and coping with troubling times. In fact, many doctors are routinely "prescribing" pets for their patients. The Healing Power of Pets explores these phenomena in greater detail, combining revolutionary scientific discoveries with deeply moving, personal stories of the unique bond between pets and their owners. The stories are of people who have learned how to triumph over chronic pain, paralyzing phobias, sedentary lifestyles, and life-threatening conditions -- showing us that the best medicine might be that furry tail-wagging pet at your side.

This book is a compelling account of a Chinese woman's journey from dysfunction to wholeness in the company of extraordinary dogs. Every chapter contains gripping, often witty, anecdotes about a different dog as she moves from Asia to America via Europe, each dog progressively moving her forward in the evolution of her soul. Her leash transmutes from tether into lifeline when she discovers and then shares with others, the great gift of the healing power of dogs. The book by King, who has been rescuing abused or abandoned dogs since her own pet was killed five years ago in the American South, blends tragedy and joy in her personal life with the theme of mutualism between humans and animals. Receiving help, she gives help. Every dog launches analyses of various cultures making us reflect on a number of human-animal issues such as the linkage of human violence and animal abuse, racist realities in all cultures, culture shocks in a Chinese family twice uprooted, and problems of marginality.
