Blurb (from back cover): "For thousands of years, dogs have been cherished as devoted companions and exuberant playmates-their unconditional love, limitless affection and unwavering loyalty never fail to melt our hearts. The stories in Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul truly capture the special joy these four-legged creatures bring to our lives and hearts.
"The family that learns the true meaning of Christmas when their Lab needs medical care during the holidays.
"The intimidating Doberman who becomes a loving mother to an orphaned duckling.
"The homeless man whose life is changed when he meets a special dog.
"The pocket-size assistance dog who dials 9-1-1.
"The crafty beagle-mix with the munchies who helps himself from the refrigerator...and many more unforgettable canine characters.
"From exciting and entertaining accounts of courage and humor to heartwarming tales of healing and learning, each touching story in this book will inspire dog lovers to rejoice in the unique bond they share with their canine companions."
Opinion: Another great Chicken Soup for the Soul book. I absolutely love dogs and have always wanted one so many of these stories were inspiring. Several of them also made me cry-not something that you really want to do on a NYC subway but cried I did. Stories about unconditional love. Just a great read.
