“In this delightful book, Dr.Segal uses engaging animal photographs to illustrate basic approches to mental health care. Shining throughout is his love for animals and for his chosen profession- a passion that reminds us of that mysterious and wonderfull connection we have with creatures living alongside us in a sometimes all - too - serious world.”
-SYDNEY BUTLER

“… fun and insightful about all of us animals”

“Combining talents as a photographer and experiences as a clinician, Dr.Segal has produced an entertaining and very funny book. His use of animal expressions and body positions to mirror human feelings and attitudes is truly hilarious. Carl Segal has a talent for making us laugh at ourselves. A highly recommended little book.”
