“I love this book! Elizabeth Johnson’s knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine, her warmth as a healer, and her passion for dogs have come together in a true trifecta. This is not only a fun and contemplative read, it is a reference book that should be on every dog lover’s shelf. Her guidance through the elements as well as the element-specific stories help you to truly see your own dogs and yourself! I also applied this to my horses and cats! I love the organization of this book. And of course, I love the attention brought to the shelter/rescue animals that need understanding right out of the gate. Bravo, Elizabeth! Well done!”
