SPARKY FIGHTS BACK A Little Dog's Big Battle Against Cancer

"At the dawn of the 21st century, with a definitive cure for cancer still so elusive, Clerens and Clifton have written a remarkable book, one that documents the journey of one small dog's triumph over cancer. In Sparky Fights Back not only does one find inspiration in the knowledge that a diagnosis of cancer in one's dog is not an automatic death sentence for a beloved pet, but also invaluable information on how a dog's 'human companions' can become proactive in healing an ailing dog. This is a 'must read' for those whose lives are filled with the extraordinary affection that only dogs can bring." --- Louis E. V. Nevaer, Author, Economist and Founding Board Member, Animal Cancer Foundation. ---- A special supplement "If Your Dog Gets Cancer" offers direct practical advice.---- Foreword by Samantha J. Schmidt, Director, Animal Cancer Foundation.
