Sit, Stay, Heal: What Dogs Can Teach Us About Living Well is an unforgettable, often funny, heartwarming testament to the extraordinary healing nature of dogs and the resilience of the human spirit. It features remarkable dogs, their incredible families, Dr. Alsarraf’s loving care of them (and they of her), and life lessons learned by all. Perfect dogs and their imperfect people. She demonstrates why canines are fantastic guides to help humans navigate struggles, generously showing us what’s available within ourselves, the power of unconditional love, and the courage to be fully human.
