Filled with heartwarming stories of loveable dogs helping their masters cope with life-threatening diseases or chronic illnesses, this moving collection will comfort and encourage readers to face their own challenges. The courage, loyalty, love, and determination of these canine companions is faithfully documented in each touching story. From rambunctious pups whose antics have yanked down the curtain of depression and let the sun shine into their owners' lives to loyal and resourceful dogs who have become vital aids in their owners' struggles with chronic or life-threatening diseases, these stories are rich with the drama, humor, and pathos that have earned the humble dog the beloved status of man's best friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of essays, December 7, 2009

This review is from: Good Dogs Doing Good: Lives Transformed by Man's Best Friend (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this smart, well-written collection of essays! My favorite one was written by Kim Lute and details her relationship with her dog, Lola (and no I'm not partial because we share the same name!) All of the stories were heartwarming, and I'd recommend this book to animal lovers everywhere.

This heart-warming collection of short stories about dogs who have had a positive influence on people's lives would make a wonderful gift for any animal lover. I have always owned dogs, and I believe they have opened my eyes to many things I would not have noticed without their influence. I especially enjoyed the story about Silky, the little "thrown away" injured stray who showed her rescuer that you only have to look as far as your own backyard to enjoy the wonders of creation. Perhaps it is no accident that "dog" is "God" spelled backwards.
