Based on the author’s twenty-five years of experience as
a veterinarian and veterinary behaviorist, The Soul of
All Living Creatures delves into the inner lives of
animals – from whales, wolves, and leopards to mice, dogs,
and cats – and explores the relationships we forge with
them. As an emergency room clinician four years out of veterinary
school, Dr. Vint Virga had a life-changing experience: he
witnessed the power of simple human contact and compassion
to affect the recovery of a dog struggling to survive after
being hit by a car. Observing firsthand the remarkably
strong connection between humans and animals inspired him to
explore the world from the viewpoint of animals and taught
him to respect the kinship that connects us. With The Soul of All Living Creatures, Virga draws
from his decades in veterinary practice to reveal how, by
striving to perceive the world as animals do, we can enrich
our own appreciation of life, enhance our character, nurture
our relationships, improve our communication with others,
reorder our values, and deepen our grasp of
spirituality. Virga discerningly illuminates basic
traits shared by both humans and animals and makes animal
behavior meaningful, relevant, and easy to understand.
Insightful and eloquent, The Soul of All Living
Creatures offers an intimate journey into the lives of
our fellow creatures and a thought-provoking promise of what
we can learn from spending time with them.
