    Spanish Description

    Making the Rounds with Oscar

    En 2007 la historia de un gato muy especial dio la vuelta al mundo. Oscar vive en una residencia geriátrica de Rhode Island y posee un don increíble: es capaz de sentir cuándo un paciente está a punto de fallecer y lo acompaña en su tránsito, aportándole un discreto pero agradecido consuelo. El doctor David Dosa, poco amante de los felinos y escéptico ante los dones extraordinarios, decide relatar la historia de Oscar y también la de su oficio: hacer menos penosos los últimos años de sus pacientes. Historias conmovedoras, tristes y hermosas, narradas con humanidad y gran sensibilidad.

    About the Book

    In 2007, the story of one remarkable cat traveled around the world. Oscar lives in a nursing home in Rhode Island, and he possesses an astonishing gift: he senses when a patient is about to die, and he stays at their side, offering quiet, grateful comfort. Dr. David Dosa, no great lover of cats and skeptical of extraordinary gifts, sets out to tell Oscar's story and also his own: the demanding, deeply rewarding work of easing patients' final years. Moving, sad, and beautiful, these true stories are told with humanity and great sensitivity.
