Acknowledgments
From Gayle Pruitt: First of all, I would like to thank Chancey Blackburn for her tireless effort in helping me with every aspect of this book. I will be forever grateful to my amazing agent, Linda Langton, who believed in this project from the very beginning. My sincere appreciation goes to Daniela Rapp, editor for St. Martin’s Press, who took my words and recipes and made them into a cookbook. I also want to thank photographer Joe Grisham, his artist wife, Janet Healey, and set director, Keith Johnston. Each of their gorgeous photographs of food and dogs are works of art.
I would like to acknowledge two important people in my life, Rick and Lavonne Bradford, owners of the Sunflowers Shoppe in Fort Worth, Texas. Rick and Lavonne believed in my philosophy on food and opened the door to a world of nutrition for me. Without them this book would never have been written.
From Joe Grisham: To my wife and creative partner, Janet Healey, THANK YOU for always making work together so exciting. Your incredible ideas and brilliant vision never cease to amaze me!
Big thanks to Keith Johnston for your wonderful production design and styling. Also, thank you Katy Yost and Veronica Ramos for your help in the kitchen and keeping us on track every day.
Special appreciation to Art Ortiz of DogFit Dallas for your innovative dog wrangling. On set and off, all the dogs love you.
Susan Hubenthal, thank you for your witty chalkboard art and signage. You're a fabulous artist.
Finally, thank you to the extraordinary rescue dogs who showed up at our studio and gave us their all . . . just for some love and a few delicious treats. You're what keeps us going!
Foreword
It gives me great pleasure to be writing the foreword to Dog-Gone Good Cuisine. I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a dog as a companion. Some of my earliest memories revolve around my first dog, Penny, and ever since I have been the proud companion of a dog—even in medical school and residency when there wasn’t an ounce of time to spare, I always made room for my dog/child.
Today, I work in private practice and am fortunate enough to be able to bring Remington, my beagle, to the office with me. He is a great source of joy for the patients (and the staff, too). He is the cutest and best dog on the planet (yes, I know, so is yours) and he brings an immediate smile to my patients’ faces. Somehow what is bothering them becomes a little easier to bear. The simple act of a dog looking into your eyes can warm your soul and, scientifically, can help to boost your immune system.
As you can tell, I feel that dogs are a wonderful species and do so much for us that it is our important responsibility to manage their health. This brings me to the second reason why I am honored to be a part of this book. I am a medical doctor who specializes in nutritional medicine. I am very proactive with my human patients and do not wait for them to get sick, but encourage them to do something that positively affects their lives each day. This belief translates directly to the care of dogs.
For the most part, pet food is filled with things I wouldn’t feed my worst enemy, let alone the one being that I love the most in the world. Gayle has really taken the lead in bringing to light the similarities in the way we can eat together with our dogs. She has created healthy delicious recipes that will impact your dog’s health in a positive way and that are easy to prepare. I especially enjoy how varied and easy the recipes are—many of which I would never have thought of.
There are more than 100 recipes in this book, many of which will address human and canine lifestyle illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, kidney issues, and liver disease and with special sections on fats, oils, herbs, and spices. You can see Gayle has love both for dogs and their owners as well as a commitment to cooking with healthful ingredients. Her passion is deep and her skill amazing.
Just as humans are plagued with obesity and degenerative illnesses such as arthritis, so are our canine friends. This is wrong and the only way to address the problem is to go to the root cause, which is what we feed our dogs. It disheartens me when I bring Remington to the vet and see all of the obese dogs or the ones with arthritis and the medications they are on. I just want to scream and tell the owners it doesn’t have to be this way—you are killing your pet! Instead, I sit there and recommend Gayle’s book.
A remarkable transformation has taken place in the human world in the past decade, where we are paying much more attention to the quality of the food we place in our mouths and acknowledge food’s importance to our health and well-being. I am so pleased to see this transformation now extending to our pets.
Remington only gets raw vegetables for a treat and he loves them. His digestion is amazing, he never has diarrhea and his coat is extremely soft. This and more can all be achieved through good nutrition. Your dog doesn’t have to be sick, and if he is, this book will quite possibly save his life.
