She also walks, feeds and 'socializes' the dogs at the Noah's Ark facility, a cageless shelter for cats and dogs. 'The gratitude and love I receive from these animals are more fulfilling than any paycheck I could ever receive. Volunteering time with the dogs fills my heart, and brings great joy to my life.'

This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul The Mini Edition (Chicken Soup for the Soul (Mini)) (Hardcover)

Is what I ordered but not knowing what a mini edition is I was disapointed that it was very small. Granddaughter thought it was a joke. But like I said It's my fault for not being up on that sort of things. Would order other items again from the company if a need arises.
