"My life long relationship with animals has taught me they are intelligent, emotional beings, capable of great compassion and love. Animals exist in a consciousness that is one with nature, connected to all life, closer to God.  They graciously offer their divinely bestowed wisdom to those with open hearts and minds." ~ Dr. Linda Bender

A passionate, animal advocate and educator, Dr. Linda Bender’s love of the natural world began in her childhood backyard. From orphaned deer to blue jays prematurely bumped from their nests, animals in distress somehow found a way to her loving arms. Her innate rapport with animals inspired her to earn a doctorate in veterinary medicine.

In her new book, Animal Wisdom: Learning from the Spiritual Lives of Animals, author and veterinarian Dr. Linda Bender shares her stories, and the wisdom she has gained from a lifetime of loving and working with animals.  Often on the front lines, she has worked to rescue and advocate for wildlife and their habitats around the world. Combining scientific knowledge and a deep spiritual understanding of the interconnectedness of life, she reveals the amazing power our pets and wildlife have to heal and enrich our lives. She is also a co-founder of the non-profit organization, From the Heart. Visit www.lindabender.org
