From the Back Cover
"There is something so humbling about a little creature with a disability that asks for nothing but love, and gives it back in multitudes. They never complain about their situation . . . they just live with it and love life."
—Barb Thrasher, BONES Pet Rescue
Auggie appeared to be a klutzy puppy, always bumping into walls. Really, he was born blind and could only see shadows. Emmy Lou, a kind-spirited hunting dog, was shot by a hunter and could never use her hind legs again. Jinx, a rambunctious three-legged terrier mix, was dumped and abandoned on the side of the road. Despite the difficult hardships these pups faced, they were still able to find families who accepted and loved them unconditionally.
Extraordinary Dogs is a compilation of fifty heartwarming, against-all-odds profiles of dogs with disabilities who all share an unwavering zest for life. Each dog's one-of-a-kind story will no doubt win you over, paws down.

I'm not a person who can read a whole book in a short period of time but when I got this book, I could not put it down. I enjoyed reading about those extraordinary dogs and those extraordinary people who were able to see beyond the dogs disabilities. I also checked out the "pets with disabilities" web site that was in the book. It makes me think about the next dog in my life. Thanks Joyce and Michael for opening up our eyes.

Extraordinary Dogs=Extraordinary Reading!,
This review is from: Extraordinary Dogs: Inspirational Stories of Dogs with Disabilities (Paperback)
I highly recommend this book to all animal lovers out there. The stories are well written and compassionate. Once I started reading this book, I was unable to put it down until I finished it. Some of the stories made me cry, others made me laugh, but they all filled me with respect and admiration for the selfless owners who have given their time, money, and above all,love for their "less than perfect" pets. Thank you, Joyce Darrell, for founding Pets with Disabilities and for writing this wonderful book!
