5.0 out of 5 stars A Dog-Gone Good Read! September 27, 2009

By Timothy Martin

Format:Paperback

Everything you wanted to know about dogs and the people who love them can be found in this wonderful book. There are many great chapters, such as Learning About Family, Learning to Have Courage, Learning to Listen, Learning to Overcome Adversity, Learning to Heal, Learning to Put Things in Perspective, Learning to Be Kinder, and Learning about Unconditional Love. All of them are well-written and worth reading over and over. My favorite chapter was Learning to Say Goodbye. This is a book that will truly warm your heart and soul. Inspirational from cover to cover, and not just for people who own dogs. "Chicken Soup for the Soul: What I learned from the Dog" is a book for the entire family. It's a must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Dogs? Get this One! September 24, 2009

By David M. Smith

Format:Paperback

Admittedly I'm a biased reviewer. This is the first Chicken Soup book I've been fortunate enough to be part of. My story "Brandy" is included and begins on page 195 and tells the true tale of the night our dear dog died. It's a touching story and a bit of a miracle actually, and evidence that God's creatures, even dogs, move on to a better existance after this life. I got my advance copies as a contributor last weekend and I must say the entire book is great, one of the best Chicken Soup books I've read and I've read maybe 25 of them in the past. If you love animals, particularly dogs (and who doesn't?), do yourself a favor and order up this book! Or at the very least put it on your Christmas gift list and have Uncle Harry buy it for you. It has it all; dramatic pieces, humorous pieces, police dogs, small dogs and big dogs. Get the book!

God bless...
