It will make you laugh and touch your heart!,
By A Customer
This review is from: What My Dog Has Taught Me about Life: Meditations for Dog Lovers (Hardcover)
You don't have to be a dog-lover to love this book (I prefer cats myself)! This is a book to be enjoyed at many levels. If you're looking for some belly laughs (mixed with a few tears), they're here. If you like witty one-liners, the book is filled with them. However, if you are willing to deal with spiritual insights that will challenge you to the depths of your soul, amazingly, they inhabit this little book as well. Each of the fifty stories is self-contained (but I defy anyone to stop with just one!). I've not read anything so enjoyable or stimulating in a long time! This book is a gem I'll return to again and again!

Just Listen To What Your Dog Is Telling You,
By Duane Monkres (Edmond, OK United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What My Dog Has Taught Me about Life: Meditations for Dog Lovers (Hardcover)
A few minutes ago, I finished Mr. Stanley's book. I had wondered if there were others who learned from those special dogs who are insightful, attentive, intelligent and totally devoted. Obviously, Gary Stanley is one of those, and he communicates so well the blessings of sharing life with another of God's creatures.

God's Wisdom from His Creatures,
By
This review is from: What My Dog Has Taught Me about Life: Meditations for Dog Lovers (Hardcover)
My mother is a friend of the author, and for a while in 1999, she took care of "Griffin", one of the dogs described in this book. She talked often about his remarkable face and demeanor, and raved about Mr. Stanley's stories. Twice now I have been amazed at how right she is-- Griffin is an amazing dog-- he can look at you in a way that almost goes through you. And then to see that translated into these short stories is just amazing. "The Dog Who Walk Himself" has much to teach us, even though he probably doesn't know he's doing it. As this book shows us, God has many ways of teaching us His lessons. I think even my cat-loving self can agree with that!
