Warm and fuzzy (2003-12-20)  Most of the series of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' has the kind of warm and fuzzy story that many find endearing and sweet. They are not 'deep' most of the time, but do point to things beyond themselves; for my own use, I often find sermon illustrations and stories within the pages of volumes of Chicken Soup -- as chaplain at a retirement centre, many of the stories help people to recall happier times, and help them deal with their present situation. This particular volume involves stories with animals. The relationship between animals and people of all ages can make for some of the funniest, most heart-warming, most sad, and most meaningful stories. There are contributing authors of some note (Barbara Bush, James Herriot, Jimmy Stewart, Gilda Radner, Art Linkletter) among other authors who had stories to tell and volunteered them. Much in the manner that Readers Digest accepts unsolicited stories from amateur authors, so does the Chicken Soup series. Often the most meaningful stories are those that happen to people who are not professional writers. Few animals are left out here, as many animals have come to be companions with humans over the centuries. Dogs and cats feature prominently, as do horses and other farm animals, but there are also wolves, birds, dolphins, deer, wild turkeys, gorillas and even a Christmas mouse. The stories cover a wide range of topics, including pets as friends and healers, animals as rescuers and performers of other amazing feats, animals whose companionship meant a lot, and finally on the sadness and meaning of saying goodbye to an important family member. Each of this stories can easily be read in a short time. This makes it a good source for 'falling-asleep reading', for use in public speaking and preaching opportunites, for shared reading-aloud times, and for simple enjoyment and entertainment. Many of the stories here are ones that stay with you; the story about the wild turkeys and the story of the Christmas mouse are stories I use again and again in my chaplaincy, and they are always appreciated. The editors of the primary series 'Chicken Soup' are Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen; for purposes of this volume, they are joined by Marty Becker and Carol Kline, authors and animal-professionals in various capacities. My cats give their paws-up to this!
Once again, a wonderful helping of Chicken Soup (2002-01-13) As always, Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul provided much needed hope and joy from the stories told. I cannot recommend the Chicken Soup series enough! When I'm feeling down they lift my spirits and when I feel low they encourage me to keep going. I particularly enjoyed the Pet Lovers edition as my pets keep me going in times of trouble.
ITS A GREAT BOOK!!!!!!! (1999-08-21) I just purchased CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE PET LOVERS SOUL at Border's(a book) store. Just a few days ago. I just finished reading the book yesterday and I thought it was and excellent book. It's filled with heartwarming stories that I loved and I was touched by some of them. I reccomend this book to anyone who loves pets as much as I do. I'm in love with dogs an that is one reason why i bought this book. But really it is a great book.vIf yyou buy this book enjoy!!
Where's the 2nd one?! (1999-08-06) This was an absolutley amazing book. Owning as many animals as I do, I had no trouble relating to over half the stories in the book. I would be delighted to read a second one, and plan to put together a story or two in hopes of the next volume coming out soon. There are so many volumes of the other chicken soup books, I cannot imagine there aren't enough stories for many more pet lover's soul books! :)
A "must-read" for every pet-lover! (1999-07-16) Many stories to touch the heart--and the soul. Our pets become part of us; their unconditional love is something we treasure. When we are faced with losing them the pain and sorrow go beyond words to express! After you read this book and smile-- and cry-- I would like to recommend two other wonderful books: one is FOR EVERY DOG AN ANGEL, an absolutely marvelous little book, that even though written for children, adults will love even more! The angel stays with pup throughout its life; "forever dog" and its "forever person" will eventually reunite; sometimes the dog will cross back over its "angel bridge" to visit in the interim. The author has had several experiences with her "forever dog", "Martha"; I have had a few with my little ones as well. The next recommendation is for adults: THE SOUL OF YOUR PET. Stunning, solid evidence of animal afterlife; will startle the most hardened of skeptics. In addition, it is biblically-sound regarding pet afterlife.
