I'm the author of this book, so I can't give an unbiased review. It is, however, endorsed by Jack Hanna: I've always thought you can learn a lot from our animal friends -- Janice Phelps seems to agree! In her new book, Open Your Hearts with Pets, she describes what life should really be like with your 'pet.' If they are given the respect they deserve as living beings that share their world with us, then the person-pet experience should be good as gold! Pick up Open Your Hearts with Pets and discover a whole new relationship with your animal friend! --Jack Hanna, Director Emeritus, Columbus Zoo, Host, TV's "Jack Hanna's Into the Wild"
Open Your Heart with Pets is an excellent book, every pet owner or guardian should read. In addition to providing useful hints about pet care it is full of many true stories about how pets help in our life. As an avian veterinarian, I have first hand knowledge of many such cases and can easily relate to the stories written in the book. Pet lovers will be delighted to find information in the book about all types of pets not easily available from other sources. --Dr. Ram Mohan, DVM, MS, Ph.D, Avian Health Clinich, Reynoldsburg, Ohio
