Book Summary

For every pet parent who knows there's no such thing as 'just a dog,' this collection of uplifting glimpses into the lives of ordinary-turned-extraordinary dogs and the people who love them is a tail-wagging good read.

Thanks to the rescue dog who saved her life after a traumatic brain injury, Carmen Leal went from saying she'd never have a dog to becoming an advocate for man's best friend. Carmen volunteered at the local rescue shelter by writing bios and social media posts, applying for grants, and helping to save and re-home over 6,500 dogs from a high-kill shelter. This endearing anthology includes stories that celebrate the bond between canines and humans including:

Buddy the beagle who went from living chained under a porch to becoming the town's only therapy dog

Heavenly Joy, the frightened Chihuahua who changed the life of a grumpy old man

Bogey, an abandoned mixed-breed trained by prison inmates and adopted by his forever family

I Chose You is a collection of memorable, beautifully written stories of dogs rescued by people and, ultimately, people rescued by dogs. If you like four-legged friends and happy endings, you'll love Carmen Leal's touching collection of heart-warming stories.

A Tissues and Teddy Read!

A wonderful collection of stories focuses on the relationships between man and his four-legged best friend 

Each story spotlights the give and takes that occur between the rescuer and rescued - Sometimes I couldn't tell who rescued who

From the elderly (both canine and human) to the incarcerated - each tale was heartfelt and at times very emotional 

The stories were well-balanced  

Hopelessness when there was no hope left - 

Light when there was only darkness - 

Acceptance when rejection was all they had known - 

Each tale was heartfelt 

Highly recommend
