5.0 out of 5 stars Chicken Soup for the Cat & Dog Lover's Soul, January 11, 2000

By

Shawn Burkholder (Idaho) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Cat & Dog Lover's Soul: Celebrating Pets as Family with Stories About Cats, Dogs and Other Critters (Paperback)

I got the book as a Christmas gift and found myself transported to warm memories of pets, past, present and future. I found the book to be like looking in someone's emotional diary; sharing their most intimate, special moments of sharing their lives fully with a beloved pet. I bought ten copies of the book and gave it as a new millennium gift to all the pet lover's in my life and I'm prould to report that the praises, thank you's and high-fives keep coming my way. If you love your pets like family, and are tired of fiction or stories of gloom and doom, add this book to your shopping cart!

It was a touching book that brought me to tears. If you have pets this book will really relate to you. IT unbelievably shows the unmistakable bond with which you share with your pet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best short stories I have ever read, March 22, 2000

This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Cat and Dog Lover's Soul: Celebrating Pets as Family with Stories About Cats, Dogs and Other Critters (Chicken Soup for the Soul) (Hardcover)

I love this book! I found myself laughing and crying through out the book. Two of my favorite stories were, "15 Minutes of Fame" and "Bedroom Secrets of Pets Revealed". I have 2 large dogs and 1 cat and can relate to both of these stories. It's nice to know that there are so many people in the world that give the gift of life and love to their animals. If you too are an animal lover, this is the book for you. I am sure you will relate to at least one of its many well written stories.
