The Bounty of Illusionist [signed]

Life is about family and the choices we make. Animals, large or small, factor into those hard decisions. This one-in-a-million veterinary case had Guelph doctors working overtime to save retired champion Standardbred racehorse, Illusionist, and her unborn baby. The mare would die if the foal reached full-term and time was running out.Illusionist underwent a Caesarean section a full two weeks short of term--and the prognosis was chilling. Even with the procedure, the mare's chance of survival was no better than a coin toss, and her premature foal's was pegged at one-in-twenty.This book is a testimony to medical heroics and the unyielding love for our animals.
