My Angels Wear Fur

By Devon O'Day

Book Overview

"Over the years, animal rescue and adoption have transformed my life over and over and over," says author Devon O'Day. In "My Angels Wear Fur," her first collection of stories that chronicle the many animals she has rescued, Devon O'Day tells readers about: Tennessee Tess: A stray dog delivered to her front door by a man working on a construction crew in the neighborhood and who ended up living the glamorous life in Hollywood with O'Day's sister, actress Faith Ford.

They are loyal and caring and they see through each of us...to the hidden souls of our real beings."

Animals and the Love They Give

If you love animals you need to get this book. It's full of heart warming stories of a woman and the animals she comes in contact with as she tries to place them in homes with kind and loving families. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down until I had finished the book.

This really touched my heart and soul !

I just love dogs and I have a special place in my heart for all animals.This book really touched me. I'm really glad there is someone like Devon who takes care of these pets who need homes.I too, was chosen by my sweet little Zoe, she acutally came into a steel warehouse and one of the guys brought her to the office where i worked, I instantly fell in love, she was so skinny and dirty. Now, she is healthy and happy! not to mention spoiled. We love her and my old cat even loves her too!*The story of Darlene was sooo sweet! I hope she is somewhere taking care of someone and getting all the love she deserves !

WOW!!!!! What a WONDERFUL book!!!!!!

God put animals on this earth for us to love, cherish, and to keep safe. What a wonderful collection of stories!!! You'll laugh over one story, then cry over the next!!! I'm not a cat-lover; but this book makes me want to learn more about this creature!!!! Devon writes about her "angels"; but, it seems to me Devon herself is an angel who has shared her heart as well as her stories. I only hope more stories will follow!!!Way to go, Devon!!!!!

Extraordinary Indeed!

This book is a superlative collection of stories involving a variety of animals, narrated in extraodinary dialogue of humor, insight and sometimes nostalgia! If you like pets, this book is a must! If you enjoy quality writing and pleasurable reading, this book is imperative! Attractive photos enhance this wonderful volume of fascinating, awesome chapters in the lives of a myriad of species!

heart-warming for a dog lover

I received this book for my 40th birthday. Like Devon, I am a dog lover. The stories she tells are of an animal-lover par excellence! I started reading the stories, with one of my three dogs in my lap, and begin sniffling, then sobbing. I wanted to go out and save every anmial! The spiritual ties are real; I, too, have experienced God's unconditional love from my furry angels. Thank you, Devon! I look forward to volume 2.
