Great little spiritual stories with a dog story lead in for each one.

I had different expectations when I picked up this book. I thought it was stories about dogs but the dogs were not the center of these stories. Some of the stories are inspirational.

I so enjoyed Four Paws from Heaven and anticipated the arrival of this book. Even though I liked it, I much preferred Four Paws from Heaven. This book didn't "speak" to me as clearly and dramatically as Four Paws... and I'm not sure why. I enjoy the writers' style, but the stories just didn't tug my heart as much as the stories they shared in Four Paws from Heaven. A nice devotional, weaving the stories of dog owners and their furry companions, with Scripture and Biblical truths.
