After graduating veterinary school at Cornell University, he became a veterinarian in clinical practice, then director of zoos in Boston and Los Angeles, then head of a progressive humane society where he advocated for animal welfare. During his extraordinary 30-year career, Dr. Mark has accrued a lifetime of experiences working with all sorts of animals and the people who care for them.

These are stories that illustrate the tremendous impact animals have on our daily lives—they are hallmarks of the sacred importance of the human-animal bond.

Download or read book Why Me Father written by C. Christine Pressley and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I chose the title of this book because that was the question I ask almost every minute of my life. Whether it be to my earth-bound father or my heavenly Father. I was raised believing in God, so when these tragic events happened in my life, the question got even more frequent; I could not understand what I had done so bad in my life to be treated like I was. Through God's help, I don't ask that question anymore. I understand that there is a reason for every second of our life, whether good or bad. I finally understand we may not know that reason, but God knows and that is fine with me. I know God is always with us through our journey on this earth. This book was so hard for me to write emotionally, to let everyone know my emotional and physical pain. But I felt drawn by God to let everyone know God is real and he is there for you. All you have to do is ask. May God bless you and your family.

Download or read book Contemplating Life From The Back Step written by Angela Lemanis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The uplifting tale of life lessons learned from three passionate, energetic and wise Boxer dogs that popped into Angela's life and imparted their knowledge and doggie wisdom at times when she needed it most. After watching her three tan and white male Boxer dogs Towser, Sammie and Max and how they spent their days, Angela realises that her dogs instinctively know how to enjoy themselves and to fill their days savouring each and every moment. It's as if her dogs knew something she didn't, or paid attention to the things she should have. Despite their oftentimes questionable behaviour, which has her racing to the vet on several occasions, vacuuming the backyard (yes, you read that right), setting up a stakeout to catch Sammie swinging from the clothesline, erecting an electric fence around the garden, and a very embarrassing moment at a dog show, their special kind of insight teaches Angela important character traits like patience, perseverance and resourcefulness. While the life lessons are unique to say the least, there's no mistaking that each was cloaked in affection and dispensed with boundless energy. It makes her think about how simple a dog's life is, how much they seem to get out of it, and the lessons we could all learn from them if only we took the time to watch. Website address
