Sparky Fights Back : A Little Dog's Big Battle Against Cancer

by Josee Clerens, John Clifton

"At the dawn of the 21st century, with a definitive cure for cancer still so elusive, Clerens and Clifton have written a remarkable book, one that documents the journey of one small dog's triumph over cancer. In Sparky Fights Back not only does one find inspiration in the knowledge that a diagnosis of cancer in one's dog is not an automatic death sentence for a beloved pet, but also invaluable information on how a dog's 'human companions' can become proactive in healing an ailing dog. This is a 'must read' for those whose lives are filled with the extraordinary affection that only dogs can bring." --- Louis E. V. Nevaer, Author, Economist and Founding Board Member, Animal Cancer Foundation. ---- A special supplement "If Your Dog Gets Cancer" offers direct practical advice.---- Foreword by Samantha J. Schmidt, Director, Animal Cancer Foundation.

[Aberjhani · Rating 5 out of 5]

there are many reasons to describe sparky fights back as a truly remarkable book. one is the open-hearted candor with which the authors relate their struggle to save their beloved sparky from cancer as well as their own victories over the same disease. and yet another is the courageous humor with which they arm themselves throughout that struggle. but perhaps most remarkable of all is the strength and depth of love that fills every heart-warming page.[return][return]aberjhani[return]author of "encyclopedia of the harlem renaissance"[return]and "visions of a skylark dressed in black"
