Animals bring out the goodness, humanity, and optimism in people and speak directly to our souls. This joyous, inspiring, and entertaining Chicken Soup collection relates the unique bonds between animals and the people whose lives they've changed: such as the dolphins who helped a paralyzed woman heal when doctors offered little hope; the dog who brought life into a failing marriage; the kitten who helped a mother mourn; and the flying squirrel who taught a man the power of laughter.
Packed with celebrity pet-lore, Chicken Soup for the Soul relates the unconditional love, loyalty, courage, and companionship that only animals possess. Just like our furry, feathered, and four-legged friends, this enchanting book will bring a smile to any pet lover's face, and it's housebroken!

"This book made a huge impact on the way animals are supposed to be raised and loved by other people. I have two pets including a dog and a cat whom they lived separately from each other and it made me think that having a pet could form a meaningful friendship with one another." — Miriah (4 out of 5 stars)
