This was a wonderful book, especially for shelter workers or volunteers who see and experience some of the same things as in the stories. Many of the stories dealt with the euthanasia side of shelter work but end with a hopeful note. The book stresses the importance of spaying and neutering and not treating companion animals as throw away objects but as important members of the family. I recommend this book highly for animal lovers and am even considering buying a second copy and donating it to my local humane society's new library.

anyone who REALLY loves animals will love this book. I cried and laughed by the end of the book, it was really emotional.

I don't want to detract from the inspiration this book obviously provides but was sad to see that she has adapted Loren Eiseley's Starfish story as her own - and appears to have given no credit. Eiseley's original can be found in his book, The Star Thrower.

There are no words to fully describe the depth of this book's scope in such relevant context of shelter work! The writing is excellent, the overall aura and ambience provides insight, inspiration and aspiration toward the goals encompassed in these stories! Every individual encounter in this volume will capture your emotions with hope and a desire to be a part of similar endeavors!
