, Dedication
This manual is dedicated to my friend of friends
“Chimo” who taught me of unqualified love, and to
all other animal friends who have selflessly
provided comfort, compassion, and unparalleled
commitment to humans. This dedication is
generally without measure of our right to such gifts
or of our own commitment to reciprocate.
It is this affection that has given me the ability to
survive, with relative sanity, in an often difficult
world. The healing power of this unqualified love
has been the inspiration for this manual and the
project that produced it. May this book bring the
healing power of an animal's love to those who
need it to better handle an increasingly complex
world. May this manual also give us a better
appreciation for those creatures with whom we
share the earth.
