He is the co–author of the Complete Great Pyrenees, The Dog Owner′s Home Veterinary Handbook, and The Cat Owner′s Home Veterinary Handbook––published by Howell Book House. Dr. Giffin′s interest in horses began with his daughter′s Kate′s first horse, and continued through 4–H and the various horse shows in western United States. While practicing surgery in Colorado, he was called to active military duty in Operation Desert Storm, subsequently retiring as a lieutenant colonel. He now devotes his time to writing.

TOM GORE, D.V.M. is a veterinarian with over twenty–five years experience in caring for horses. He grew up on a cattle ranch and counts among his earliest recollections the names of the horses he rode on seasonal roundups. Dr. Gore received his medical degree from Colorado State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1973. He returned to his hometown and established a private practice in veterinary medicine. He and his family, with their dogs and horses, now make their home in Osmond, Nebraska.
