Cancer survivor writes book about how dogs helped her heal

NEW YORK -- Dogs may not use words to communicate, but they can be incredibly supportive. 

Veterinary oncologist Dr. Renee Alsarraf learned this firsthand when she received her own cancer diagnosis. 

Her new book, "Sit, Stay, Heal: What Dogs Can Teach Us About Living Well," is full of life lessons she learned while treating canine patients and recovering from her own cancer journey.
