Customer Reviews

Worthwhile reading. Very touching.

I found the stories touching and at the same time heartwarming. In a time when the world as we know it can be cruel to mans best friend, it lets the readers know how kindness and compassion is still prevalent. It makes you realize how much hope and love abandoned dogs and cats can still give us after their hard and sometimes heartbreaking events.

Disposable Dogs

The precious face on the cover of this book sets the tone perfectly. And the description beneath the picture says it all. Heartwarming, True Stories of COURAGE and COMPASSION. Seventy dogs are written about and you'll feel like you've known each one of them. You'll laugh and you'll cry about them and for them. A particular favorite is Keeley who was shot and left for dead, but she always had the will to live, and did. "Humans could take a lesson from dogs who have suffered but refused to give up. They never look back. They just pick up and go forward." Amen to that.

recommended read for dog lovers

I really liked this book (I might be just a little biased though - my dog is Dallie on page 176). I was very surprised to get the phone call from Steve Swanbeck and even more surpised to see that my story made the cut. I was very impressed that he got the story about Dallie 100% correct. The other stories were wonderful as well - full of inspiring people. I have read other books similar to this and some of them can be depressing and heartwrenching. I am pleased to report that this book is one that leaves one feeling that there are good people in this world and that happy endings do exist. Also, kudos to Mr. Swanbeck for donating part of his proceeds to help homeless animals. I am a firm believer in less talk more action.

Excellent, Heartbreaking and Enlightening

"Please read this" is all I can say! I've worked as numerous (no-kill) shelters and I see the devestation every day. My own three dogs came from situations very much like the fine pooches in this wonderful book.

All life matters, even those that are thrown away

If you love dogs as I do, and have a broken heart at the thousands that are laid to waste each year in this country's animal shelters, you will love this book. It is uplifting, and loving, and goes to the heart of a dog, any dog, and their absolute unconditional love. Keep the box of Kleenex handy, you'll need it!
