Animal testing is a controversy that has raged for hundreds of
years. Some people view experiments on dogs as necessary for human
medical progress, while others argue that the practice is barbaric.
When the author adopted Marty-a beagle rescued from a research
laboratory-she found herself rehabilitating a terrified dog with a
traumatic past. She soon discovered the well-kept secret of painful
and often fatal testing on dogs. This book details what the author
has learned about the past and present of laboratory testing on
dogs, life after laboratories and the hope for a future without
animal testing. Interviews with rescue organizers and adoptive
families reveal the struggles of removing dogs from laboratories
and acclimating them to daily life. Scientists discuss the ethics
of dog research and advocate for new biomedical technologies.
Fundamental change is brewing, with the public, scientists and
governments urging the use of new technologies that can replace
testing on animals and yield better results.
