Melanie Kaplan was not an expert on animal use in research until she adopted a beagle who had been a test subject. Investigation opened her eyes and her journalist's cred opened doors into the hidden world of breeding and using beagles for biomedical research, drug and product testing, and education. Her book takes readers behind lab doors and into conversations with researchers, activists, ethicists, vets, and lawmakers.
