A must have if you have a 4 legged child

I have enjoyed all of the Chicken Soup's I have bought over the years, but this is the absolute best. I hope they consider a Dog Lover 2 and more. It was so refreshing to read stories from other's who view their pals as a true family member. Note I refrain from saying "dogs" as my two bassets are my "sons" as was my first basset.I often confuse people when I speak of my "sons". As I read, I laughed and I cried. I stopped often to get down on the floor and hug my boys. At times I went to my fridge and touched the picture of Sebastian, who with the help of our vet, when to the bridge 2/20/04. It would take too much time to try to write all that I thought was great about this book, but will say each and every story was great. Highly recommend this to anyone who hates hearing "it is just a dog"

Wonderfully Told Stories

Part of the continuing success in the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series is the ability of the editors to reap the fertile field of talented, young writers. Debbie Roppolo's "Some Snowballs Don't Melt" is a beautifully told story about the bond between a working man and his working dog. Sad, yet uplifting, the story demonstrates how the relationship between man and animal can transcend mortality. Ms. Ropollo brings the tale of her father and his German Shepherd to life with intimate and exquisite details. One can easily see stories like this being transformed into family movies, the type not often seen in this day and age.

You MUST get this book for all dog lovers.

I bought this book based on the reviews and everyone was so right! It's a very moving book and has humor and compassion. It has all the elements of a Soup Lovers Book. This book has touched my soul and im still in the first section about love. I would have never thought that a dog could teach us so much but this book proves just that. The first story had me in tears when the owner left the state and left his dog with his relative. The dog became sick and near death because he missed his owner and as soon as they told him he was losing weight and was dying the owner came BACK and the dog was waiting on him in there usual spot at the train station. There is so much more to that story I won't spoil it. That story and the first 5 that I read so far has touched my life in more ways then one. If you love dogs, have a dog, don't have one or is getting one? Then I reccomend this book for you, I would give it 10 stars if I could. We are getting our new Shih Tzu puppy next month in Dec and I cannot wait to get him. This book proves that love comes in all forms sizes and shapes!

Wonderful collection of heartfelt stories

Chicken Soup for the Soul continues to offer an inspiring collection of stories. The Dog Lover's version provides tale after tale of healing, connection and love. These stories can easliy be re-read and re-read offering hours of inspiration and warmth. Dog lovers, animal behavior experts, dog trainers, vets and just plain folks share their stories of love, rescue, death and love - this is wonderful for nightly reading, book club reading and daily inspiration.

Best book to read for Dog Lover's

I'm a firm believer the dogs are the best creation known to mankind. This book proves it so. when I started reading this book, one minute I would be laughing out loud so hard the next I would crying my eyes out, but in a good way. I had to stop reading it for a while all the laughing & crying made me sick. If you read this review please go by the book you'll never regret it. It's amazing how these creatures can work their way into our heart & soul with just one glance.
