Dedication
The second edition of Zoo Animal and Wildlife Immobilization and
Anesthesia is dedicated to our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Greg
Fleming (March 13, 1966–March 9, 2013).
How miserably things seem to be arranged in this world. If we have no friends, we have no pleasure; and if we
have them, we are sure to lose them, and be doubly pained by the loss.
—Abraham Lincoln
