Chicken Soup for the Cat & Dog Lover's Soulâ¦. How could I not buy it? It is a wonderful book and every pet owner should read it. If I'm feeling blue I like to read one of the pick-me-up stories. This is a book that I tend to give as gifts to any friend that has a pet. Even gave one to a doctor's assistant when I heard how much she adores her dogs. It has my vote, as do all the Chicken Soup Pet Books....for Cats, Dogs, Horses and so on. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Great book for any pet lover especially if you have ever lost a pet. I had a best friend german shephard friend who past away about three years ago. She will never be replaced. Reading these stories brought back all the amazing adventures we had and then some.

This is another great book in the "Chicken Soup" series. If you love dogs and cats, you must read this book. It will make you laugh and cry. These domestic animals give so much to us "people". This book will warm your heart. Caution: Big,tough, macho-people: this might not be for you.

This book is amazing. If you don't like animals, no problem - I'm sure this book will make you! The stories are great and all, but the most important thing is that they make you really appreciate animals in all forms. The book teaches us that we share this world with fascinating, intelligent and beautiful creatures who should be valued and appreciated. They, too, have personalities, likes and dislikes, and everything else; I have four dogs and each one has a distinct personality. This book appreciates each and every personality-type. In the end, everyone is a winner and each dog, cat, horse or whatever animal it might be, is a hero, if only in their owner's heart.

I only give it a 4 because I don't like stories that make me cry, and some of these will.

Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul spoke directly to the hearts of all readers whose lives have ever been changed by the love of a pet. Now the coauthors bring readers this volume, honoring the unique and enduring love that people share with their cats and dogs.

Like its predecessor, this book is a joyous and inspiring collection--sometimes poignant, sometimes amusing, always filled with the special and incredibly unconditional love only cats and dogs can give. The stories in this collection celebrate those lovable furry, four-legged creatures that bring out the best in all of us, inspiring us to be happier, kinder, more understanding and more loving. Readers will discover that many of humanity's greatest heroes, healers and teachers are not humans at all, but those amazing cats and dogs that brighten all our lives.

This is a really great book. If you are emotional (like I am), do not read the last chapter. It is about losing pets. It's sad :(. The rest of this book makes your day a little happier! You'll REALLY enjoy this book.
