Picture this: Paw to forehead:

"I'll never be stressed again," said Scarlett.

"I must tell you a true, humorous testimonial story about how very effective Midwest's relaxation tape is. I call the story: All we ever needed to know about relaxation, we learned from our dog.Every morning we start off the day right by listening to the Midwest Center's relaxation tape. The tape is even more effective than we thought, it can even relax our hyperactive puppy, Scarlett. Scarlett is a giant, 60 pound white standard poodle puppy with boundless energy.

As puppies will, she usually runs around the house at break neck speed. Often times we will play your tape in the evening. We began to notice that every time we played the tape, we couldn't hear Scarlett running through the hours. To our disbelief, we found out that as soon as we started playing the tape, Scarlett would instantly lie down and relax with us. Midwest's relaxation tape has been able to do more than many obedience lessons couldn't, get her to relax on command. Amazing, but true.

You (Midwest Center) might want to see if other users have noticed the calming effect the tape has on their pets. You always hear how healthy it is to have a pet (lowering blood pressure, etc.) Well, the reverse is true also, that having owners that practice relaxation is healthy for their pets.

I thought you'd enjoy this true story. Of course I praise Midwest's relaxation tape as the Best in the country in the book that's coming out next month.

Best wishes for the New Year, Dr. Ron Rubenzer."
