Customer Reviews

Wow

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.

Sorry I waited so long to read this book

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.

Compassion of Dogs Compassionately told

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.

Inspirational book

As a contributor to The Compassion of Dogs, I had the opportunity to read the entire book. I was deeply touched by each of these stories, which were unique in their own way. As an owner of dogs, I was also able to personally understand and identify with aspects of the humane/canine bonds that were so beautifully described. I encourage anyone who loves dogs, to buy this book for themselves and as a gift for others. Each individual story is inspirational, touching, and worthy of remembering.

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.
