It has long been said that a dog is a person's best friend, and how true that is. To many, though, the canine-human relationship goes far deeper than friendship. It is the ultimate reflection of a mutual and unconditional level of commitment and of a dog's ability to become one with its human. It is a relationship of love, care, and loyalty that penetrates the soul, softens the heart, and generates an inseparable emotional bond.
The Compassion of Dogs is a fabulous collection of true and moving stories that illustrate how dogs display their wide range of emotions familiar to any pet owner—compassion, courage, intuition, and loyalty. Inside, you'll meet canine caregivers, therapists, and heroes, as well as medics, September 11 saviors, and countless other very special dog friends, including:
·Louise, a Bearded Collie who became separated from her owners near the World Trade Center on September 11 only to find herself riding one of the ferries, comforting countless strangers
·A therapy dog named Lucy who became best friends with a young girl with leukemia and stayed by her side during her final weeks
·Andre, the little dog who continued to visit a favorite spot on the lawn where he had spent time with his owner before her death
·And many more
These are fascinating and heartwarming real-life accounts of the power of canine-human relationships, the depth of which are certain to resonate within the heart of any dog lover. You'll relive the emotions and thoughtfulness of your own best friends and discover dogs' awesome ability to earn the respect, love, and admiration of all who share their lives with these amazing animals.
