Our best friends. From the dawn of civilization they have been cherished as loyal companions, exuberant playmates, and healing and gentle souls. Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul truly captures the special bond and joy these four-legged creatures bring to our lives and hearts: from the first crazy, sleepless weeks of puppy's life in a new home to tales of adventure, healing, humor and learning.

I bought this book based on the reviews and everyone was so right! It's a very moving book and has humor and compassion. It has all the elements of a Soup Lovers Book. This book has touched my soul and im still in the first section about love. I would have never thought that a dog could teach us so much but this book proves just that.
The first story had me in tears when the owner left the state and left his dog with his relative. The dog became sick and near death because he missed his owner and as soon as they told him he was losing weight and was dying the owner came BACK and the dog was waiting on him in there usual spot at the train station. There is so much more to that story I won't spoil it. That story and the first 5 that I read so far has touched my life in more ways then one.
If you love dogs, have a dog, don't have one or is getting one? Then I reccomend this book for you, I would give it 10 stars if I could. We are getting our new Shih Tzu puppy next month in Dec and I cannot wait to get him. This book proves that love comes in all forms sizes and shapes!

Part of the continuing success in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series is the ability of the editors to reap the fertile field of talented, young writers. Debbie Roppolo's "Some Snowballs Don't Melt" is a beautifully told story about the bond between a working man and his working dog. Sad, yet uplifting, the story demonstrates how the relationship between man and animal can transcend mortality. Ms. Ropollo brings the tale of her father and his German Shepherd to life with intimate and exquisite details. One can easily see stories like this being transformed into family movies, the type not often seen in this day and age.

My sister-in-law wrote "Phoebe's Family" (page 155) about our beloved Boston Terrier Phoebe who died suddenly. Phoebe was absolutely the smartest, most loyal, and loving dog I have ever known. My father still mourns her now almost three years after her death. Her favorite toy-the HOD (Hedgehog of Death) sits in a place of honor in his bedroom and he will not let any of our other dogs play with it.
The stories of love and companionship found in this particular Chicken Soup are moving, cheering, and sad all at the same time. If you are a dog lover, then you will enjoy this book.

This book will inspire and delight you with the many wonderful stories of how our canine companions enhance our lives. I am blessed to have contributed my story, "In Her Golden Eyes" (Page 120) where I share how our chow mix, Cheyenne, was nearly killed by a speeding truck and had to have her leg amputated. Her fight for survival and her battle to learn to walk again inspired me to survive my bitter divorce and walk on my own as a new single mother. I hope you get the chance to read it. Also, I have a book out called Prison Of My Own which tells about the tragedy that led to my being left a single mother after my husband murdered his mistress. The story is one of hope since it is of redemption and forgiveness. It has been seen on The Montel Williams Show, been broadcast on national radio and has been published in magazines worldwide. Readers as far as Australia and New Zealand have called the book "life changing" and described how it has strengthened their faith and encouraged them to forgive. |
