"..., when the story began,;they had lived close to where we were in Sarasota, Florida near the Myakka River.; They started out with only 5 acres and adopted a horse or two which was the beginning of Proud Spirit, a sanctuary for horses.; Eventually, they decided they needed more room and found a place with 50 acres.; As they acquired more horses, they knew they needed more space.; They also adopted a few dogs and cats.; This book describes the dogs they found, mostly abandoned or rejected by their owners, the personalities of the dogs and their relationships with the dogs.; Eventually, they moved to Arkansas and got a much larger place;of about 350 acres.; At the end of the story they had about 70 horses, 12 dogs and 1 barn cat.; Melanie and her husband are very generous, kind, animal friendly people.; They made room in their home for the dogs and have given them a good life.;... It helps us to understand life's lessons about animals and people.; I have told many other people about it." |
| Love Like a Dog by Anne Calcagno | Alicia Domina | "I read this book, Love Like a Dog, that's geared more towards the young adult crowd. Was good but the ending was a bit lacking." |
| The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein | Linda Perkins | "A New York Times Bestseller "The Art of Racing in the Rain" is a novel by Garth Stein. This book is a must read for every dog lover! A great book from the dog's perspective. I gurarantee it will put a smile on your face as you will definitely see your own dog in these pages." |
| The Puppy Diaries by Jill Abramson | Steve Daniels | "Read "The Puppy Diaries" by Jill Abramson- - you'll like it . Frankly, the book itself is nothing special (it's no Marley and Me) but the Epilogue is.; So even if you don't want to read the book, make it a point of reading the epilogue." |
