Rezensionen

"Fenella Eason's investigation of how the chronically ill engage with medical alert assistance dogs in their daily lives serves as an example of how research can be both empirically rigorous and compassionate. It is timely, top-notch scholarship. It will inspire research in multispecies ethnography, the sociology of health and illness, anthrozoology, and anthropology." - Leslie Irvine, Professor of Sociology, University of Colorado Boulder, USA

"A novel and moving account of multi-species relationships where health and wellbeing is becoming a more-than-human accomplishment. It sets the standard for future work on animal-assisted care of chronic illness." - Hannah Brown, Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of Durham, UK
