    Highly Recommended

    Winegar introduces us to real people who brought rescued animals in their lives without realizing that they themselves were the ones being rescued. Quietly and humbly, these animals do what they do best-- to love us, bring us out of darkness, and keep us connected with what's truly important. Winegar strikes the right note of emotion without being mawkish. Olausen's photographs are tender and intimate. A must-read for all the animals lovers in your life.
