In his book The Healing Power of Pets, Dr. Marty Becker, the popular veterinaray contributor to Good Morning America, shows readers how the special relationship between pets and people is one of the most powerful weapons in fighting disease and treating chronic conditions ranging from arthritis and depression to obesity. Blending revolutionary scientific discoveries with deeply moving personal stories of pets and their owner, Dr. Becker shows that the best medicine may not be the medicine cabinet, but at your side.
