The Last Walk by Jessica Pierce
Drawing on the moving story of the last year of the life of her own treasured dog, Ody, the author presents an in-depth exploration of the practical, medical, and moral issues that trouble pet owners confronted with the decline and death of their companion animals.
"Decisions about how to treat an animal toward the end of her or his life are among the most difficult we have to make, and it's our responsibility to do the best we canOur companions trust that we will have their best interests in mind. In The Last Walk, Jessica Pierce considers all of the hard questions about sick and old animals. She seamlessly weaves in personal stories with scientific research to provide readers with an incredibly valuable guide-a must read-about when and how to end an animal's life in the most humane way possible. I learned a lot from reading this book, and I know others will as well." -Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals"
