5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, January 25, 2003
By Katie J. (Midwest) - See all my reviews
This was such a compelling book. It really touched my heart. The people/dog relationships impact the way you think about dogs and being a dog owner. Dogs are so loving and forgiving...they don't care that we aren't perfect. This book is easy to pick up and hard to put down. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sorry I waited so long to read this book, January 20, 2003
By A Customer
I got this book for Christmas and should have read it right away, it is wonderful. I loved every story, especially the one about Louise, the rescue dog, who rescued others. I have three dogs but I wish Louise was my fourth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compassion of Dogs Compassionately told, January 20, 2003
By A Customer
My son received this book for Chirstmas because he is a big dog lover. We all read it and loved it. We were impressed by the intelligence of the writing and the research that was done for each dog. Few books are as revealing as this.

5.0 out of 5 stars The true spirit of dogs
This was a wonderful book. It tells how dogs are just as emotional as people and need to feel the love and respect they deserve. All of the stories will warm your heart.
