Customer Reviews

Dogs have noble souls, for creatures with no soul...

I bought "Cold Noses and Warm Hearts" a few years ago at Restoration Hardware, thinking it would at least make a good book to read to the kids at "storytime" before bed. It is mostly great for that (I think I had to skip one story as mildly inappropriate for young children) but even more, it is a book of great writing about a great subject. This book will make you laugh, cry, or sometimes both at the same time. It's also a great reminder that God gives us dogs to both remind us how rotten fallen humanity is, and to offer an example of what real unwavering faith and loyalty look like. The writing is almost always excellent, and I personally think this book is perhaps one of the best anthologies of short stories I've run across - it's certainly my favorite. Cold Noses and Warm Hearts is great in a way that few books are anymore, and I highly recommend it.

An old-fashioned, heart-warming, memorable book for all!

This is the perfect gift to give that hard-to-buy-for someone in your life. All the stories in this book give you a lump in the throat, heart-warming feeling all over.
