IT’S HERE.
The highly anticipated sequel to my debut book,
Unleashing the Bond: Harnessing the Power of Human-Animal Interactions.
Unlocking the Bond
This book explores the paradox at the heart of our relationships with animals—how love, trust, and healing coexist with duty, sacrifice, and difficult choices.
“Unlocking the Bond captures the paradox and power of the human-animal bond, showing how animals bring healing, courage and joy. This book will move you to laugh, cry and see our connections with animals in a new light.”
Dr. Todd French

I’m Rustin M. Moore, a veterinarian, academician, and leader with six decades of experience interacting with animals. From raising animals in the Appalachian hills of West Virginia to helping care for sentient beings — both domestic and wild — to my role as an academic leader, my life's purpose has always been deeply rooted in the human-animal bond. This book was inspired by my experiences and the encouragement of many who recognize the transformative power of these interactions.
