About this title

Review:

"I could easily have read this book in a single sitting, but I enjoyed it so much that I was reluctant to reach the end. Instead, I read a few stories each day for a week...drawing it out as long as I could. I have no doubt that I'll pull this one off the shelf many times in the future, just so I can fall in love with these dogs all over again." - The Geeky Bibliophile

"All I can say is she certainly had my heartstrings in knots and really, what extraordinary tales!"

"Some of these stories are heartbreaking. Others are heartwarming. All, however, are full of soft fur, big eyes, and feet that, I'm pretty sure, all smell like corn chips." -biblioteca.com
