Page 25 - Canine Lameness

Acknowledgments

Countless people have contributed to this book in such diverse ways that I am hesitant to start list-
ing names for fear of missing someone – all were critical to creating the text in hand and I am
grateful so many colleagues offered their expertise and made this book all the better through their
contribution. Karyl Whitman, our tireless editor and Jeremy Delcambre, the outstanding anato-
mist, helped get all the fine details right. The beautiful drawings were provided by Molly Borman.
Colorado State University’s Orthopedic Team contributed abundant case material, insightful dis-
cussions, and exceptional photographs. My friends and family, both the two‐ and four‐legged ones,
deserve a heartfelt “Thank You” for putting up with me throughout the protracted writing process,
particularly Colleen, who had avoided the topic of canine lameness throughout much of her pro-
fessional career only to be subjected to an unsolicited crash course in the comfort of our own
home. Many walks, rides, meals, drinks, and adventures are owed to them all. And finally, to my
fantastic parents, Christa and Ulrich M. Duerr, for decades of support and encouragement to
follow my passion and without whom none of this would have been possible.
