Endorsement from Dr. Alice Villalobos

Buckley’s Story received a wonderful endorsement from Alice Villalobos, DVM, DPNAP.

Dr. Villalobos was the 2005-06 President of the American Association of Human Animal Bond Veterinarians (AAHABV). She is a well known pioneer in the field of cancer care for companion animals and a founding member of the Veterinary Cancer Society. A 1972 graduate of UC Davis, she completed Dr. Gordon Theilen’s first mock residency program in oncology and has served the profession by consulting, writing and lecturing in the rapidly growing field of veterinary oncology and end of life care . She was awarded the UC Davis Alumni Achievement Award in 1994, and the Leo Bustad Companion Animal Veterinarian of the Year Award in 1999. She is editor-in-chief of the AAHABV Newsletter, Secretary of the Animal Health Foundation of the SCVMA and Founder of the Peter Zippi Memorial Fund for Animals, with over 10,000 rescued and placed pets.

Here is her endorsement:

It so happens that my heart resonates with Buckley’s Story and the wonders of the human-animal Bond that enriches the life of all animal lovers. I, too, have rescued a treasured “gimpy tortie.” Her name is Fern and she is wonderful. Turning the pages on Ingrid King’s heartwarming book about Buckley’s special ways and then her illness and her passing and after life care helps one feel more prepared to accept the cycle of life. The depth of Ingrid’s grief matched the height of her joy in the special human-animal bond that she celebrated with Buckley.
