4 Stars Crys your heart out-Soup Dog Lover’s Soul
I love dogs. Each little story was heartwarming, entertaining, caught my attention and mostly heartbreaking/bittersweet (in the endings). It is about dogs relationships with people and other animals and peoples with dogs. I cried so much I ended up with a tension headache/migraine and was in bed for a day on medication to relieve the pain. I dread the day I loose my litle Teddy (Maltese) + know how I rescued him. Not meant for the little ones-they may cry more than I did.
5 Stars .love this book.
I loved this book. It was all about stories of dogs who have rescued their owners. I read one story about a dog saving their owner that had fallen in ice! Pretty ah-mazing. Well I really recomend this book for people who love animals and love amazing stories.

5 Stars If you are a dog lover…
This book is for you! Typical Chicken Soup fare but on the plus side, dogs are the lead characters. Lots of tearjerkers, heart warmers and amusing anecdotes. The format makes for perfect short reads (bathroom, waiting for appointments, lunch breaks). I recommend it highly.
4 Stars Think the book is wonderful! Thanks!
We love dogs especially and we used to have a beautiful black lab but she’s gone to heaven now! Our children got this lab for their stepfather years ago for Father’s Day and of all the pets we have had over the years; this one was extra special to us! The book is great but the hubby cannot read much of it right now as he misses lady a lot. But, from what I’ve seen, I like it and believe others will too! I am a big fan of the Chicken Soup books and have always been impressed with their books and this one is no exception!
