Summary: The Heart Connection
Review: A must read for anyone who shares his or her life with a pet, or has loved and lost a pet.

From his dedication page to his closing sentence, Dr. Orzeck will captivate the reader with his endless empathy and anguish of dealing with the death of animals. Written with candor, this gentle and compassionate country vet tells of unforgettable animals. These are animals he must enthanize due to old age, trauma, illness, and owner neglect and selfishness. Each animal's story will leave you deeply touched; you feel the doctor's own heartbreak and pain at the loss of each innocent life.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: A wonderful book examining pet loss from multiple perspectives as observed by a humble country veterinarian.Through his career as a farmer, student, and professional caregiver, the pain of losing a loved one remains constant. Dr. Orzeck shares personal tragedies, as well as those of his friends and colleagues. A touching portrayal of the pain we all endure when a beloved pet is lost, regardless of species or circumstances.

Summary: Wonderful book for all animal lovers!
Review: Dr. Orzeck addresses some difficult issues in euthansia with a sense of wonderment and love towards animals. The book brings both tears and joy as "Doc" describes many of the creatures that he has enjoyed in life and grieved in death. As a veterinarian, he has illuminated one of the hardest chores an animal doctor has to perform with both compassion and sensitivity. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves animals, anyone who aspires to be a veterinarian or anyone who has recently lost a pet.
