I just read this book the other night and it has some great short stories in it about dogs. It also has some wonderful quotes and I thought I would share some of my favorites.

"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole". - Roger Caras

"The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, he will make a fool of himself too." - Samuel Butler

"Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful." - Ann Landers

"We give dogs time we can spare; space we can share and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. it's the best deal man has ever made." - Margery Facklam

I will have to look for this book. Our dogs are a miracle and just reading these quotes reminds me of it. Though my dogs are both spoiled to death I am still the one that has gotten the better deal when it comes to their love. No matter what they are doing, if I need them they are there.

I would also like to know the name of the book. It seems to have great quotes! You should check out this comic book I just received its called Mutt Shelter Stories. A comic book artist has many short stories raising animal shelter awareness.

Mutts Shelter Stories is really a sweet book. McDonnell really hits the nail on the head with his cartoons.

Years ago, my Grandmother bought me "Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul". I enjoyed that book so much, I read it through at least twice! It's a very inspirational book.

It's Chicken Soup for the Soul Celebrates Dogs and the People Who Love Them. It's written by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, & Sharon Wohlmuth. It's a small book and has less than 100 pages so you can read it in about an hour. It has some great pics too. It was written in 2004 so your library might have it. That's where I got it.
