Perfect for dog lovers and fans of pet-centered memoirs like Julie Barton’s Dog Medicine, this heartfelt narrative captures the profound companionship humans share with dogs—and the ways these animals change lives.
Patricia Eagle’s account of her lifetime of relationships with dogs reveals the clarity, strength, and wisdom she gained from them, even in the most challenging of situations. As Eagle chronicles the lives of her ten dogs over seven decades and the lessons she’s learned from them—including how to become a better dog owner and companion, and even a better human—her dogs come alive on the page, each with their own unique personality, from the feisty to the meek.
If you are a dog person, if you are considering getting a dog yourself, or if you want to better understand someone who loves dogs—this book is for you. With the benefit of Eagle’s hard-earned wisdom, discover how dogs can change you and can help you learn to listen better, to trust and be trusted, to nurture with devotion, and to love with all your heart.

“A labor of love and practicality, Dog Love Stories is a deftly crafted memoir with a purpose––to show anyone who has (or who aspires to have) a canine companion how dogs can enrich the quality of their owners’ lives and the lives of any four-legged family members. Exceptionally well written, informative, fascinating, ‘real world’ practical, and a fully engaging read from start to finish.”
