This textbook is dedicated to my amazing parents, Raphael and Dorothea Aronson. Growing up, my parents created a welcoming home filled with warmth, love, and constant laughter. They stressed the importance of family and community and have always been incredible role models, instilling in me the importance of honesty, respect, to always remain humble and to do the right thing even when it is not popular. From a very young age, my parents supported and encouraged me to follow my passion for veterinary medicine. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for their love and support. I consider myself the luckiest girl in the world, to be their daughter.
