Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From Dr. Kwane Stewart, CNN's Hero of the Year for 2023.Mountains Beyond Mountains meets Tattoos On the Heart in this unforgettable, powerful, and stunningly-told memoir of a struggling veterinarian saving animals and humans on the streets of California - and how he discovered what bonds all living creatures. Dr. Kwane Stewart was questioning his career as a veterinarian when he saw a homeless man with a flea-infested dog outside of a convenience store. In a moment of spontaneous generosity, he offered to examine the dog and treat him for free. It was the first step in a now nine-year journey that has taken Dr. Kwane from Skid Row to San Francisco and beyond to care for pets and their humans who are living on the streets, a journey that would redefine the powerful human-animal bond.In What It Takes to Save a Life, Dr. Kwane shows how our four-legged, feathered, scaled, and swimming family members-these dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other animals that live side by side with us-provide more than companionship. They offer essential love, hope, and a sense of security.Written with striking honesty and rich detail, Dr. Kwane looks back on his childhood, how he discovered his appreciation for animals and his calling, and offers a frank assessment of the mental health crisis in veterinary medicine today, where compassion fatigue, burnout, and suicide are facts of life. Full of warm and inspiring stories of human-animal relationships, this powerful and eye-opening book is a reminder that we are all members of a wider family. It is also a clarion call for each of us to help those in need-especially our most vulnerable brothers and sisters-and the animals who are their families. Wise and warm, Dr. Stewart's uplifting nonfiction story is a reminder that one life can make an immeasurable difference.This unforgettable veterinarian memoir is a testament to second chances-for animals and people alike.- The Street Vet: Follow Dr. Kwane from Skid Row to San Francisco as he provides critical, free care to the pets of the unhoused, discovering hope on the streets of California.- Compassion Fatigue: An unflinching look at the burnout, depression, and mental health challenges facing the veterinary community, told from a place of raw honesty and experience.- Inspirational Memoir: The moving, true story of how a man on the brink of leaving his profession found his true calling by helping the most vulnerable animals and their humans.- Second Chances: A powerful reminder that it's never too late to find a new purpose, and that saving an animal can sometimes be the first step to saving yourself.…
