Synopsis

Dogs keep us company, provide unconditional love, share in the ups and downs of our lives and every day an adventure. You'll love these 101 dog tales of family, friendship, fun.

How do dogs do it? Even non "dog people" fall under their spell. Our dogs make us better people. If we rescued them, they rescue us back. If we're sad, they comfort us. If we need to have more fun, they show us how. They are our therapists, our role models, and our best friends.

You'll laugh a lot, tear up at times, and nod your head in recognition as you hear these tales about the magical experience of sharing life with a dog. From hilarious to heroic, mischievous to miraculous, and everything in between, you'll enjoy a wide variety of entertaining stories about the magic of dogs.
