The fi fth edition of the Handbook of Small Animal Practice is dedicated to
Scamp (1976-1990)
Corky (1991-2006)
Duma (1991-2007)
During the fi rst 30 years of my career and the preparation of all fi ve
editions of the Handbook of Small Animal Practice, these three Pembroke
Welsh corgis were my constant companions. They spent innumerable
hours resting at my feet as I labored to edit the books and also frequently
prompted me to take well-timed breaks for walks and other adventures.
These intelligent, enthusiastic, and entertaining friends greatly enriched
my life and continuously reminded me of how fortunate we are to share
the world with animals.
