More About This Book

Overview

When the nurturing nature of women meets the loyalty and unguarded affection of dogs, remarkable connections ensue. You'll be entertained, inspired, and moved by shelter dogs, police K-9s, dogs rescued from hurricanes and dog fighting, service dogs helping returning veterans, prison inmates who train service dogs, and everyday mutts who transform lives just by providing an exuberant welcome at the end of the day.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
The authors who gave us Angel Dogs: Divine Messengers of Love and other titles popular among New Age animal lovers here present a collection of essays by women describing overwhelming joy at having their canine companions. The book is divided into three sections demonstrating how the dogs fill a void in their owners' lives, such as through loyalty or heroism, healing (emotional and physical), and in response to other special needs. A short meditation at the end of each entry invites readers to consider their emotional responses to the essay. The common theme running throughout is that dogs are not only faithful companions but also spiritual guides and messengers of love. The stories of Major, Sandy, Princess, Java, Lady, McDuff, and others will resonate long after the book is finished. VERDICT While some narratives are better written than others, all will touch the hearts of readers fortunate enough to enjoy or seeking this type of relationship.—Susan Riley, Mount Kisco P.L., NY

    Full of Spirited and Unabashed Love!

    Have you ever wondered if you love your dog too much? Well, if you are a woman who loves spending every spare moment with your dog and appreciate and treasure the love and bond you have with your dog, this book is a must read. You will laugh and cry, just as I did, at each of these stories. Not only will you feel connected with these women, but you will fall in love with their dogs as well. You will walk away with a profound understanding that dogs truly are spiritual teachers and our best friends, and to deny that, would mean less of a life lived. These stories will fill your heart up with love and you will find yourself running to hug your canine friend.

    ~Barbara Techel, author of Frankie the Walk 'N Roll Dog book series
