With this wonderful little "tail", Jill Rappaport has provided a huge dose of inspiration on many levels. One need not even be a dog lover to understand that the power of love and compassion can get us through the toughest times and by opening up our hearts, everybody wins. What a loving and intelligent tribute to adored pets everywhere and what a wonderful gift to give the people we love whether they have shared similar experiences or not! Bravo Jill and thank you!

Jack and Jill: The miracle dog with a happy tail to tell by Jill Rappaport is more than a story about the author's dog. Jack and his family serve as role models for the American family of today. Jack's multi racial family -brothers, sisters and cousins -are an amalgamation of rescued dogs and cats who form a supportive family unit during a time of family crisis. Jack's battle with cancer leaves him looking different than everyone else when his leg must be amputated to save his life. Despite his disability, his family welcomes him and he resumes his wonderful life on the farm he calls home.

The wonderful animal photographs of Jack and his family, by the author's sister, Linda Solomon, makes this book appealing to children, but the story is a "tail" of hope for any family suffering from adversity in the modern age. I highly recommend this book to all families, especially animal loving ones.

Everyone who has or is thinking about getting a dog should read this inspiring book to see the kind of love and attention that our companion animals should receive every day. I cringe when I think about the hundreds of thousands if not millions of animals that are left alone all day - no fields, walks, toys or companions....

Thank you, Jill, for talking about how you rescued Jack. After reading Jack & Jill, I rescued a mutt named Bobo at the Humane Society of NY. Bobo and I are happy as can be, and I'm proud to have freed a dog from a lonely life in a cage. I hope that your readers will walk away pledging to rescue rather than buy their next companion animal.

This is book is not just for young children. Anyone who has experienced the pain of losing a pet will appreciate Jack and Jil.

It is a great book. It tell a great story. For anyone who loves dogs you like it. You cry and smile at this amazing dog.
