Kindred Spirits

How the Remarkable Bond Between Humans and Animals Can Change the Way We Live

Kindred Spirits is an eloquent, moving exploration of a belief I have long held–that animals and humans are intimately connected. Allen’s call for us to embrace and respect our fellow creatures who share this planet is a powerful prescription for life in the twenty-first century.

The bond between animals and humans can improve both physical and mental health. In Kindred Spirits Allen Schoen explores the nature of that bond and shows how the techniques of natural medicine can help both pets and their owners. I learned a lot from reading it.

Kindred Spirits will touch the depths of your emotions and beliefs, and in doing so, will change the way you live. Read, learn, and open your heart to the animals with whom we share a kinship, and whose stories are shared so beautifully here.

Like a modern day James Herriot, Allen Schoen evokes the wonder of the human-animal bond and illustrates how animals anoint our humanity by providing companionship, unconditional love, protection, and nurturance.

Kindred Spirits shares the transformative power of Schoen’s remarkable methods and his vision for a society in which we cease to be owner and pet, human and animal, but are simply respected companions connected by an inimitable bond–Kindred Spirits. Treating animals just as any healer would treat human beings, Schoen draws on his extensive experience in veterinary practice and the latest research in animal neurophysiology to show how humans and animals can mutually benefit from heightened awareness and respect.
