Our new books are out and the reviews are in: "The Ultimate Dog Lover" and "The Ultimate Cat Lover" have nothing but "five paw" reviews.

Everyone loves the combination of beautiful stories about the love we share with our pets, the gorgeous full-color photographs and the Must Know Information on everything from shedding to cancer, all contributed by the very best in every field.

But why take the reviewers' word for it? Our publisher, HCI, has put together a EXCLUSIVE sampler of each book -- two stories, two Must Knows, two beautiful pictures -- to give to our Pet Connection readers, for FREE.

Why? Because we know once you get a look, you'll be coming back for more.

Get a full-color sampler of the 'Ultimate' books -- for FREE!

It simply couldn't be easier: Just click one or both of the smaller covers. Your computer will automatically download the PDF of the sampler you've chosen. (If you don't have AdobeAcrobat Reader for PDFs, get it here for free.) You can enjoy the free samplers on your computer screen, or print them out in full color to enjoy or to share. (Horse-lovers, don't despair: Our next book, "The Ultimate Horse-Lover," is on the presses now, and we'll have a free sampler for you soon!)

Another free offer: Buy the books, take a picture of yourself with one or both and send it to us. If we post the picture on our Pet Connection Web log, Dr. Becker will record the greeting for your answering machine or voicemail as a thank-you. (And he'll happily answer a pet health question or two for you while you have him on the line!)
