This is an amazing book that is a must read for anyone who loves animals. I laughed and cried while reading this book. It is about a group of people who run an animal sanctuary. It is very touching.

Definitely worth reading, all you animal lovers!

I agree with Jennifer's review, that the writing in this book is not of the best. It reminded me a bit of the way people write about the lives of the saints. That said, I imagine it was hard for the author to give ample attention to all of the heroic people who founded Best Friends and work/worked there and tie all that in with the animal experiences.

It is a touching story and made me cry several times. I am very glad I read it and learned about the sanctuary. If I had not picked a different avenue of volunteer service in life, this book might very likely have made me want to go work there.

It is nice to know that there are such great people out in the world. I had never heard of this place, it was a good heart warming story. There is now a show on animal planet about it. Must read if you have adopted or fostered pets.

Wow, how moving! Makes one want to go out and volunteer at their local shelter. And, it makes those of us who already do, feel like we are doing what we need to be doing. If you don't work in a shelter, go and help out these innocent victoms of stupid people. This book was moving and brought many moments of happiness to me. A must read about a grass roots operation in the beginning of their journey. You'll want to go along on this ride!
