Animal Angels: True Tales of Creatures That Changed and Enriched People's Lives

by Charlene R. Johnson, Michael Rebel

Like guardian angels, there are creatures that appear almost magically at the very moment their compassionate guidance and support is most needed. In times of change, loss, pain, or renewal, these animals, like signs on a long, dark road, guide humans through difficult choices.

The authors reveal the spiritual link that connects man to animal through true stories of people whose lives have been changed forever by relationships or encounters with animals. In co-author Charlene Johnson's inspirational personal story, a Labrador retriever she has never seen before saves her from a charging pit bull, then vanishes as quickly and mysteriously as it appeared. The wondrous stories continue, from the man whose dangerous encounter with an owl leads to a stunning breakthrough in his life to the heartwarming tale of the gentle dog that brought an elderly woman out of her apartment and helped her reconnect with people for the first time in years.

Animal Angels is a testament to the hope, love, and happiness that all people can find if they open their hearts and minds to the wonder of the special bond we share with animals and the life lessons they can provide.

Not Good, not bad, just ok. I was expecting something along the lines of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" type stories....this just wasn't near as sweet or riveting!

I like the theory, but the book is not too well written...
