I felt so honored when asked to provide my Golden story for this book, and when it arrived I let it sit for a few days. I was worried that some of the stories would be sad and open old wounds for me. One day I sat down and read it cover to cover and am a better person for doing so. Author Margo gently nudged each and every one of her authors to speak from their hearts in their own voices and each tale is utterly unique and beautiful. This book pays a fitting homage to the most loving and companionable breed of all time, the Golden Retriever. It is a wonderful testimony to what adopting a rescued Golden can do to enrich the lives of the adopter and adoptee.

I bought this book before it was even released by the publisher. It is excellent! As a volunteer for my local golden retriever rescue group (GRREAT) I could relate to every story told. It made me want to be able to rescue every GR out there who needs a second chance at life. To give of yourself to save the life of a GR in need is like no other experience you can imagine. If you've ever been owned by a golden, thought about being owned by one, or are just plain interested in dogs, this book is a must. If you are thinking about being owned by a GR and read this book, you will see why you must contact your local rescue group. There a rescue groups all over the country (US).
I read it through the first time I opened it and quickly passed it along to my mom. Although she isn't owned by any dogs, I wanted my mom to get a look at why I volunteer for a rescue group and how my heart can go out to every golden in need that I hear about. Thanks to Margo for putting this wonderful collection together and thanks to all those whose stories are in this book or whose stories are just waiting to be told (hint for a sequel!). Your hearts are big and deserving of all the unconditional love these wonderful puppers give you.

Kudos to Margo McHann for putting together such a wonderful book, that will tug at the hearts of all Golden Retriever lovers everywhere! This is a must for anyone who loves or has been loved by one of these wonderful dogs. My own little girl is featured in this book and it will forever be a very special book to me! Thanks Margo, for opening the eyes of the world to "Rescue" and what it is all about!

In her book, Margo McHann proves that whatever you put into a dog, you get back with interest! The forward to this book couldn't encapsulate it any better: rescued dogs are not second-hand throw aways! Hopefully this book will convince many people why they should adopt from breed rescue groups.

My Golden Frosty's story in in Margo's book. I read it first when I bought it, I was so proud. Then I started reading each of the other wonderful stories and was feeling every emotion, from tears to happiness and whatever lies in between. Each and every story brought such emotion to me. There are so many out there who love Goldens so much they devote their lives to them. I am very proud to be included in this wonderful book and to have been owned by such a wonderful dog.

My story is in the book and I am absolutely delighted with the book. The story is exactly as I wrote and beatifully displayed as all the stories are. It gives others a look and feeling of what it is like to own one of these beatiful animals and the love they give back--unconditionally! I am so very grateful to Margo for doing this for all of our golden loved ones and those yet to come. A truly wonderful book. I plan to give several copies to my friends and family for Christmas presents.

Thank you again Margo!!

Marjories McHann's stories of rescued Goldens and their people are a must read for every dog lover. These stories and photos are a wonderful telling of what Golden Retriever Rescue does to help dogs and what these rescued dogs have done for the people who love them. Even the toughest reader may need a tissue or two - the stories are full of joy and a bit of sadness too...

I found Marjorie's collaborative collection of short stories about our beloved rescued golden fuzz butts a wonderfully passionate account of what canine and human life is like when our four legged friends get a second chance at a life they have longed deserved. I brought it to work and by the end of the night 3 of my coworkers had read it through cover to cover. It is hard to put down once you get started. Kudos to Marjorie for sharing with us the "tails" of the rescued golden. Every story brought out a different emotion in me.

As soon as I opened the book, I was hooked. I was suppose to be doing a zillion things around the house but could not put the book down. I sat down and read it from cover to cover much to the disappointment of my 3 goldens. I love the short stories and pictures about the rescued goldens. It made me laugh, cry, smile, and want to read it all over again.

This book is a must for dog lovers especially Goldens. It is full of wonderful stories and pictures, all different but all full of love. The book is well presented and has other useful information which was an added bonus
