Three Angels was fantastic. It contained everything that you could want in a book: it was beautifully written, contained gorgeous pictures, and made me laugh and cry. My only problem with the book was when it ended; I wanted to keep reading!
The author, Ben Kerschberg is obviously extremely talented at making the reader feel all of his emotions. You know a book is special when it makes you cry and then laugh out loud. The pictures were gorgeous and each dog was absolutely stunning.
This book was not only beautiful for its own tales of the author's relationship with the three dogs but also for the memories that it invoked of my own dogs. Any dog lover can tell you that dogs love unconditionally and Three Angels captures that unconditional love. The story of Phoebe reminded me of how much my own dog loves when I come home from school for break and he can't contain his excitement. The tale of Phoebe also reminded me of my first dog and how devastated I was when she died. The other stories are equally poignant. The connection between man and dog is remarkable and truly a relationship of best friends.
I can't wait until the author writes again!

If anyone is contemplating adopting a dog, but needs a little more incentive, then this is the book for you. This is about a guy giving a heart warming tribute to three dogs and three friends and they just happen to be the same. Ben does a wonderful job in expressing his emotions as he shares some of the very special moments that he and his dogs have together. They go from cradle to grave, so be prepared to laugh and cry.

The only problem that I have with the book are the beautiful pictures. They seemed to want to disappear. Although I have seen some reemerge, framed and hanging on the refrigerator. Others, I am told went to school assignments. The pictures themselves make this a very good book.

I could feel my heart breaking while I read, and then I cried like a baby. `Three Angels: For the Love of Dogs: Tributes to Three Amazing Pups', by Ben Kerschberg contains three heart warming stories for any dog lover. Phoebe, a German Shepherd, was all paws and smiles from the first day that they brought her home. A lifetime routine of hugs and kisses to a heart breaking ending that every dog owner fears. Promise, a Doberman, who loved to carry around her large Teddy wherever she went to and who loved to play. Always full of energy and life, yet filled with the beautiful grace of an award winning champion. Then we come to Steady, a Red Lab and Golden mix, who has the uncanny ability to understand and distinguished human toys from dog toys. Sweet caring Steady who befriends anyone or anything regardless if human or animal.

As a dog owner and lover, I cried my eyes out. Then I looked at my own Wendy, a mix between Golden Retriever and Cocker Spaniel, and cried some more. This collection of delightful tales is one that stuck home for me personally. I feel that this author spoke to me, for I share many experiences and the same playful memories just as Mr. Kerschberg does. My heart goes out to you, and to any other dog lover who has lost their best friend.

Filled with beautiful home pictures of all three amazing pups, and funny little commentaries, makes `Three Angels: For the Love of Dogs: Tributes to Three Amazing Pups' one o my favorite books. But be warned, you will definitely need to snuggle up with your own best friend and a box of tissues!
