“Oh I just loved your beautiful book Allen and Linda. And of course I
am a devotee of this very handsome canine Leaf. Your story is so engaging and
inspiring. Thanks for allowing others into your life on such a personal level;
I’m confident your story will help others in countless ways.”

--Beth Faint Gedatus

"This is a wonderful book that shares the personal life struggles
and loving support between a dog and his family. Written with honesty, humor,
introspection and warmth. I have purchased several to share with dear friends as
it has touched me deeply!"

--Betty Redfield (Syracuse, NY, US), Amazon.com review

"I loved this book. It highlights something I've always believed,
that there is far more going on in the mind of a dog than most people think.
It's a terrific book for anyone that's ever had a rescue dog and knows the
problems and pitfalls along that path, as well as the reward that awaits when
you give your heart completely to a new dog. Allen Anderson's journey with Leaf
is a wonderful story and I'm very happy that he chose to share it with
us."

--Ty Wilson, Goodreads.com review

"I was thoroughly engaged by this story of mutual healing. Cocker
Spaniel Leaf came into Allen's life at just the right time. As Leaf helps Allen
deal with anxieties about his upcoming brain surgery, Allen gently helps Leaf
transform from a fearful dog to a friendly, confident and happy companion.
Lovely true tale."

--Peggy Frezon, Goodreads.com review

"By far the best book I have read in the last couple of months. In
my opinion a must read for all."

--Pam Anderson

"Read the book with my wife. It is a very touching and insightful
story about a spiritual relationship between a man and his dog. It goes beyond
expectations. After reading this book, I wish I could meet Leaf."

--John Houlgate

"What a great story! I have had rescue dogs in my family, and I
absolutely fell in love with Leaf. I am from the area and recognized the names
of places and people; I have also had Mary Stoffel do readings for me. Now I
pass this book to my friend who adopted a black cocker spaniel within the last
year."

--Darlinda Alexander

"5 out of 5 stars. Transcends the pet-animal story genre by leaps
and bounds. I finished this book in two sittings. It's a page-turner. It's
about every day life in its most usual aspects -- making a living and
partnering your spouse. But it's also about how the past weaves seamlessly with
the future to make you whole. It's also about life and death -- enduring a
life-threatening illness and having to go way beyond preconceived limits of
patience and stamina."

--Barbara Buckner, Amazon.com reviewer

"You will think I would be biased as I am one of the animal
communicators mentioned in the book A Dog Named Leaf. I can tell you that I
expected a nice story, but I couldn't put the book down. The trials so honestly
written by the author will touch your heart. The story of Leaf's journey and
healing will amaze you, not too heavy, there's humor, but it's a journey which
will inspire you and touch your heart at the courage, love and experiences of
the author and his wonderful dog. It's very special."

--Marcia, Amazon.com reviewer

"It takes courage to share your story. I also think to share the
deep love of a pet takes courage. The fact that Allen, being a man, shares his
deepest fears and also his amazing love for Leaf makes this book truly
inspiring. We've heard many stories of the connection between women and dogs,
or children and pets, but to hear Allen share his deepest thoughts and biggest
fears, as well as, his devotion and love for Leaf touched me deeply. As I read
the last page of his book I wanted to weep. I wanted to weep for those that never
experience a connection like Allen and Leaf have. I wanted to weep in happiness
for Allen and his recovery. I wanted to weep for the courage it took for Allen
to share this remarkable story that some may find hard to believe at times. But
I know it is real as I've experienced some profound moments with my own dogs,
just like Allen has with Leaf. If you've ever doubted animals have souls, this
book will open your heart and mind to truly believing we are all connected. You
will never doubt again. Your life will be enriched far beyond what you could
have ever imagined and you will have author Allen Anderson to thank for
it."

--Barbara Techel "Author of Frankie the Walk 'N... (Elkhart Lake,
WI), , Amazon.com reviewer

" A Dog Named Leaf truly touched my heart. Allen helps us to see
that there is so much more going on in our relationships with our animal
companions. I hope it will help others to be more aware of this incredible love
bond between Souls and to also help us respect one another more. THANK YOU Allen!
I love this book! Great for all who have dogs or anyone who has furry or
feathered friends!"

--Misha's Mom, Amazon Review of A Dog Named Leaf

"I thoroughly enjoyed A Dog Named Leaf, couldn't put it down, have
given it as a gift, and highly recommend it! I was touched by how Allen and
Leaf were brought together in order to help each other heal from both physical
and emotional wounds. Throughout the book, Allen recognizes and shares the
spiritual growth opportunities he receives through his deep love bond with
Leaf. As a love relationship coach, I also enjoyed references to Allen's
relationship with his wife, Linda. Allen shows how people respond differently
to crises and the value in understanding the other's perspective."

"It was a wonderful book. I recommend it to any animal lover, be
they cat or dog. Leaf and his dad are special people."

--Nancy C. Miller (Prescott, AZ, USA), Amazon.com reviewer

"A Dog Named Leaf" touched my heart deeply. It showed how the
qualities of love patience persistence surrender and trust----were developed in
2 Souls who were in each others life. It showed how they developed a
relationship of great blessings to each other. The animal/ human bond was so
beautifully demonstrated---I fell in love with Leaf. I admired the journey of
each--I highly recommend this book."

--Robin Houlgate, Amazon.com reviewer

"What an amazing personal story! I couldn't put the book down.
This heart opening adventure will help so many people. I learned more about how
to reach the inner depths of listening to my own dog, soul to soul. I
appreciated understanding more about police work from the inside out, and how
to prepare for going to the hospital to deal with critical illness. I loved the
part about dog groomers at the end, and the very important gift of service that
they provide. My dog groomer cried when I gave her a copy of the book. I think
she felt the love coming from the book! I was so inspired after reading Allen
Anderson's book, that I immediately ordered 5 more copies to give away to
friends and family. A Dog Named Leaf is a must read!!!"

--Maureen Dixon, Amazon.com reviewer

"Praise to the authors for so honestly sharing their personal
journey with Leaf. I laughed. I cried. I pondered the deeper meaning behind the
relationships with my own canine companions. More than a who rescued who
story....so much more."

--Sandy , Amazon.com reviewer
