As a huge animal lover I loved this book. It has a collection of heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking and wonderful tales of the bond between animals and humans. All kinds of animals are brought to life here but a large collection of the stories involve dogs and cats.
It really is essential reading if you have ever loved an animal. It can also help with the loss of pet or another loved one.

Not just dogs, but great stories.
