For The Love Of Dogs
There is a special relationship between dog and human that nothing else compares with. Dogs touch our hearts in a way nothing else can. Our dogs love us unconditionally without judgment. They recognize and love our true selves caring nothing for outward appearances. Dogs are not afraid to express their love and do so often and joyfully. They bring so much to our lives. Dogs show us how to live joyously in the moment, they teach us about love and loyalty, with them we can let down our guard and truly be ourselves, knowing that our love is always returned. Dogs are good for our hearts, bodies, and souls; it's no wonder that dogs are considered to be Man's Best Friend!
I have gathered together this wonderful collection of stories written by various lensmasters as tributes to the dogs in their life. Some are heart warming and some are humorous, some are written by the dog...all are written with love.
Reading these stories brought both tears and warm memories of the dogs I have loved and lost. It is my hope that these stories have a positive impact on your life as well...

This Lens Was Blessed By SquidAngels
Friends Fur-ever
Going the extra mile for love of the dog
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
-Unknown
Dogs Leave Paw Prints On Your Heart
Saying Goodbye, the hardest thing we ever have to do...
Life is Good
Many readers wonder what inspires the creative genius of bestselling suspense writer Dean Koontz. Much of the credit must go to Trixie, the golden retriever who has taught him things about life that no human ever could. Trixie shows us how to be happy every moment of the day, except those fleeting moments after a meal when the dish is (temporarily) empty. Dogs know how to work hard and to play even harder. With words of wisdom only a bird dog knows, and beautiful photos to warm your heart, this book will lift your spirits and make your leg shake uncontrollably with pleasure!
Life Is Good: Lessons in Joyful Living
Amazon Price: $85.00 (as of 02/18/2012)
Trixie wrote LIFE IS GOOD to support her friends who are service dogs for people with disabilities. She is donating her royalties to Canine Companions for Independence (CCI), the national organization that breeds and trains assistance dogs for adults and children with disabilities.
"A dog is the only thing on earth
that loves you more than he loves himself."
-- Josh Billings
A New Leash On Life
Abused, Abandoned, Rescued...
A Dog's Purpose
A Dog's Purpose is one of the most fantastic, wonderful books I've ever read! Many have tried to write from the animal's perspective, but Bruce Cameron has hit it head on. I've never experienced so many emotions while reading one book. I laughed, I cried, I cheered. This is a book that will make you think not only about the purpose of a dog's life, but the purpose of life in general.
Ruff-ly Speaking
From the dog's point of view
"My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my dog already thinks
I am"
-Unknown

"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole."

- Beautiful lens! I feel sorry for those people who don't understand what a beautiful thing the unconditional love of a dog is. Dogs are such loving, trusting creatures, whose loyalty is unequalled. I've "met" many of the wonderful dogs you've featured here. My tribute to my sweet dog Mavis, who recently celebrated her 12th birthday, is on Squidoo--http://www.squidoo.com/mavis-bringin-the-love
