THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, haahaahaa98...for this book I look forward to reading that arrived in a box of DAY BRIGHTENING BOOKS related to "Wild Things" that was delivered to my door earlier today.❤❌⭕ I have some emotional “waves” that have been lapping at my shores as August approaches and my mind turns to several Angels in Heaven...and the oppressive humidity from this year's Summer Monsoon...the last two years have been “Nonsoons” with no rain...added to the heat hasn't been helping...although I AM exTREMEly GRATEful that our State is finally receiving some much needed rain that I LOVE that will help the land and air Firefighting crews with the out of control Wildfires and aide with the exceptional drought conditions. Could you please PM me your address? Blessings to you and yours, my Dear BC Friend.🙏
Picked this up a few days ago intending to just look through it and maybe read one story. This short paragraph from the forward was spot on for me...[This book is both inspirational as well as informative. The various contributors create pictures in your mind so you feel as though you are right there. You might plan to read "just one story," but you'll have difficulty stopping.]...and inDEED, I DID, and ended up not doing so until I finished reading it earlier today...and I think it's because most of the stories are very uplifting. THANK YOU again, for sending it to me, haahaahaa98...I plan to RABCK it forward!!!❤❌⭕

Pets are such a big part of so many of our lives. As any pet lover knows, a wagging tail or a tender purr can soothe the soul after a hard day. And sometimes, the presence of dogs and cats in our lives can do even more. In these delightful books, Callie Smith Grant collects stories that celebrate the dogs and cats in our lives--stories that touch our hearts, renew our spirit, and show us how God created these beasts for unique purposes. A funny little dog named Prince earns his title by protecting the children of the house. A "dickens of a cat" gives a cancer survivor something else to think about. A lively litter of puppies soothes a troubled child. A scrawny kitten helps an anorexic girl begin to eat.
Well-known authors, including Melody Carlson, Tracie Peterson, and Robert Benson, as well as new voices share their inspirational true stories of these otherwise ordinary cats and dogs whose presence in the lives of humans make them remarkable. Each book also includes interesting sidebars, memorable quotes, helpful hints for living with dogs and cats, and forewords by H. Norman Wright. The stories are warm, captivating, and ideal for a good curl-up-and-read or for a gift to any pet lover. Cat lovers, dog lovers, and anyone who likes to read uplifting stories will cherish these books.
