I purchased this book after reading a library copy. The author is an attorney and has worked with animal rights/welfare issues. His wife is a veterinarian. He is well-informed on the issues addressed here.
The book is fiction, but teaches a great deal about animal experimentation, the very weak position of animals in the law, and the animal-human bond. Yet, the book does not come off as heavy-handed or pedantic.
There are human lessons here, too, of loss and grief and love. I do not know of another book like this one.
