The Quiet Bond: The Unputdownable Book Proving Fur Really is a Superpower
About the Book
Did you know that simply spending time with an animal can be deeply healing?
We all understand the joy our own cats, dogs, or even horses bring into our lives. But research shows that the benefits go far beyond the pets we know and love. Even brief interactions with animals we’ve just met can have a restorative effect on both our mental and physical well-being.
Time with animals has been shown to lower blood pressure, support cardiovascular health, and lift our mood. It’s one of the reasons therapy animals are welcomed into assisted living communities. After even a short visit, residents often appear calmer, happier, and more connected.
Truthfully, it’s something we don’t need science to tell us.
We feel it. Every time.
Sherry Dunn shares a series of engaging anecdotes that highlight the transformative power of animals and their connection with humans, a relationship she describes as “the quiet bond.” From wise and often humorous stories about her rescue cat, Jasmine, to moments of quiet reflection, such as the almost meditative experience of watching an aquarium, the book portrays a deep sense of love and reverence for animals. It reveals how animals enrich our lives and, in many cases, help us just as much, if not more, than we help them.
Sherry Dunn captures the healing power of animals with honesty and grace. A meaningful read for anyone who has ever loved a pet.
As the founder of Cobie’s Cottage, Inc., I find “The Quiet Bond” a beautiful and thoughtful reminder of how animals quietly yet profoundly heal us, change us, and make the world a better place for all. Sherry Dunn writes with honesty, heart, compassion and captures the magic of animals in a thought-provoking way. Her storytelling is honest, tender, and unforgettable. I will share “The Quiet Bond” with friends, family, and anyone who loves animals.
The Quiet Bond is a breathtaking reminder of the love, wisdom, and healing our four-legged companions bring into our lives. Sherry Dunn captures the soul of the human-animal connection in a way that stays with you long after the final page.
