You’ll be entertained, inspired, and moved by shelter dogs, police K-9s, dogs rescued from hurricanes and dog fighting, service dogs helping returning veterans, prison inmates who train service dogs, and everyday mutts who transform lives just by providing an exuberant welcome at the end of the day.

Does your dog have multiple talents?
Has a special dog left a legacy for you and others to remember?
Has the loyalty and commitment of a dog inspired you?
Do you have favorite childhood memories of your dog?
Has your dog helped you to see someone's true character?
Has your dog taught you something about courage, judgement, changing course and setting off in new directions in life, loyalty, or just live and let live?
If so, then this is the book for you. It contains heart-warming true stories written by women about the friendship,the lessons learned, the bond of love existing between them and their dogs. Some tales are humorous, some will break your heart. There is "Barney," devoted, goofy, kindhearted; and "McDuff," connecting with the elderly and sick; and "Lady" abused and abandoned, later rescued and re-habilitated still capable of trust, who transforms her new human friend by demonstrating confidence and faith.
The Andersons have unleashed yet another fine book in their arsenal of true animal stories. You may find your own experiences reflected in "Dogs & The Women Who Love Them." I did.
Highly recommended reading. You don't have to like dogs to be astonished by the almost human qualities they reflect in these extraordinary uplifting canine tales.

Man's best friend seems to forget they are awesome for women too. "Dogs & The Women Who Love Them: Extraordinary True Stories of Loyalty, Healing, and Inspiration" is a collection of true stories of women and their dogs and the dedication that dogs. Dogs are amazing animals in what they do for people, from the more obvious hero dogs in the police tasks force or during disasters, to just being there for people. "Dogs & The Women Who Love Them" is an excellent read for any dog lover.

Fantastic stories, it's amazing how much love these women have for their dogs! My favorite is by Judy McFadden, about her scottie, McDuff. She has also written an excellent book about McDuff, called "Life With McDuff: Lessons Learned from a Therapy Dog", also here on Amazon.
