This collection of true stories about dogs who have helped people is so inspiring! Every story is different, but all the dogs mentioned have helped people in one way or another.

For example, there was Leaf, a spaniel rescued from an animal shelter. Leaf had clearly been abused. When he woke up "disoriented with anxiety that escalated into full-blown panic attacks" (p225). It took time and love to help Leaf overcome his anxieties.

When Leaf's new owner was diagnosed with a brain aneurysms and blood clots in his legs, it was Leaf's turn to repay the love his new owner had lavished on him. I won't spoil the story by telling you how, but it really moved me.

But then, all the stories are moving. You will not forget the story Anna, who searched through the wreckage at the World Trade center bombing.

This is one book you will cherish.

NOTE: This review may lean toward the biased since my therapy dog's story is told in this book. But would like to think, despite this fact, I can provide compelling reasons why this book would make a delightful addition to your personal library.

Admittedly, I had never read any of the Angel Animal books until receiving a phone call from the authors asking if I'd be interested in sharing my therapy dog's story for their upcoming book...Angel Dogs with a Mission. Immediately read the entire book upon receipt of my complimentary copy. This is definitely the type of book one gravitates toward on a yucky evening when the day has been deplorably awful and you need a pick-me-up that the boob-tube can't provide.

The 20 heartwarming stories tell of dogs providing a wide array of services to mankind in all life's venues. They help to teach the young, comfort the grieving, find the lost, assist the handicapped, reach at-risk teens...

Angel Dogs with a Mission is an inspirational book not only for animal lovers but for all who seek additional affirmation that God does work in mysterious and wonderful ways! Not to mention affirmation that there are many people in these tumultuous times that unselfishly give of themselves through their companion animals in service to mankind regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, socioeconomic status, etc.

This is a book that I will be sharing with my grandchildren and other youth in hopes they will one day be inspired to help others through their very own Angel Dogs.

I have had several angel dogs in my life. THis book tells people's stories about how dogs helped them and how they survived because of a dog... or became more enlightened because of them. Some people just do not understand dogs... this book will really help!Autumn of Blessed Acres service dog

I just finished Angel dogs with a Mission. This is a wonderful book. Dogs do so much for us and are always there for you. Dogs are so attuned and know what is going on. Now it's time to decide which book to read next. My wife and I have 2 wonderful Golden Retrievers, Lizzy and Lucas (5&2). We appreciate them both very much. The are both rescues, Lizzy from the Houston SPCA at 9 weeks and Lucas at 6 weeks. We adopted Lucas through Golden Retrievers Rescue of Houston. Lizzy is laid back and Lucas is head strong. They keep us on our toes and exercising. Allen and Linda - Thanks so much for sharing

This book is very inspirational. If you don't have a pet, it makes you want to go get one.
