Book Cover & Preview Text
Growing up, I witnessed the love my parents had for the family dog and observed that he was always naturally happy. As I played with the animals and loved them, I noticed how they were in touch with something that many people didn’t seem to understand. The animals were just who they were, being content in the moment, living life to the full. I knew deeply that I would always be their advocate. When I was a little older, I realised we have something important to learn from them too.

About the Author
From the age of three, Liz knew that she would always have a special connection with animals. From the age of fourteen, she knew that she would be a veterinarian. Wise beyond her years, as a teenager she observed that animals, as long as they had basic freedoms, appeared to live in a world of happiness, content in the moment. Humans, by contrast, seemed full of doubts, worries and fear, and often those behaviours translated into their treatment of animals. She knew then that humans have a significant amount to learn from animals. True to her vision, Liz has been a qualified vet for twenty years, with twelve years' experience running her own small-animal practice on the central coast of New South Wales. Over her years of practice she has keenly observed the relationships between humans and animals – the highs of joy and happiness on both sides – but also the lows of maltreatment and neglect, which brought her close to despair. Due to a major life crisis, she set off on a journey to learn more about herself, delving deeply into human psychology, the way people can derive joy from valuing animals and nature, and how this could be the key to their own happiness. 'The Animal Connection' is the result of that search.
