"Stirring, emotional, and important . . . For anyone who's ever owned a pet, this kaleidoscope of emotions will elicit tears, laughter, and some very special memories."
-- The Seattle Times
"A treat for anyone who cares about animals or secretly thinks they might be angels in disguise."
-- New Age Journal
"Susan McElroy has compiled a unique and moving testimony of the gifts that animals have bestowed on their human companions, some life-saving, others life-sustaining and truly miraculous. The ultimate importance of this book is to elevate the status and significance of animals in society, which is long overdue for the good of the animals, and for humanity."
-- Michael W. Fox, Vice President, The Humane Society of the United States
