Dog Love – An Unbreakable Bond: Inspirational Stories of Devotion, Loyalty and Courage Kindle Edition

The bond between humans and dogs is more intense than our bond with any other species―there’s not even a close second. Dogs are more than just a pet; they are trusted companions. They help us hunt, guard our homes, look after our livestock and even our children and, over time, do so many useful and wonderful things that it boggles the mind.

This compilation of heart-warming dog stories illustrates the pure love of these amazing creatures, including extraordinary instances and first-hand accounts of bravery, friendship, loyalty, devotion and companionship down to their very last breath.

There’s a reason we call them man’s best friend. No matter the situation, your dog is happy to see you. You are greeted with the same enthusiasm each and every time you walk in that door. A dog has the ability to live in the present moment. They don’t regret the past or worry about the future.

While we often ask so much of them, they require almost nothing in return. You can ask your dog to chase a Frisbee, take a nap on the couch, herd some sheep, or run around a show ring and he’ll do it, happily, for hours on end. He only wants to be fed, and told he’s good, and most of all loved. If a dog has love, he really needs nothing else.

In the presence of a dog, somehow, nothing else matters. A dog is handing out pure love, sparing no expense, and asking absolutely nothing in return. Perhaps American Humorist Josh Billings said it best: “A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.”

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2015

I grew up with dogs and my first memory is when I was two years old and a family friend gave me a small black dog as a birthday gift. I named him Blackie, and we became constant companions. He was my first dog. I only had a period of about three years in my life when I was dog less, shortly after high school graduation , until I finally settled in a region that became my lifetime home. I have not been without a dog since, and I didn't stop at just one. I started rescuing dogs, and eventually started the first " no kill" rescue in the South in 1975. I know the value of a dog in a person's life. I loved the compilation of dog stories in this book. Some were familiar to me, others I read for the first time. It was nice to revisit the ones I had read before, and a delight to learn of the new ones. I enjoyed having them all together. If you love dogs and reading about them, you won't be let down by this book. However, like me, you'll wish the stories to go on when you have finished. It is a quick read. I would certainly recommend it to pass an hour or so, depending on your reading speed, and whether or not you take some time to ponder between stories. Enjoy it, and take the time to hug and appreciate your own dog, or as the case may be, dogs.

After reading stories of devotion and courage in  DOGS: A Kid's Book of DOG BREEDS  (a great book, I highly recommend it), our family wanted more stories and found this wonderful book, "Dog Love - An Unbreakable Bond." I was truly moved by the loving devotion, loyalty and courage of "man's best friend." They give us unconditional love; what a wonderful gift they are to Humankind. I agree with those who pointed out the numerous mis-spellings throughout the book, and I hope they correct those in future editions,but those only lent a folksy aspect that did not detract from the overall message.

Wonderful stories of loyalty, service, protection. Family pet or member of the family? When you have a dog, it is sometimes hard to make a distinction. When they save your life, there is no question. Yes, a dog is a dog. Just don't try to convince a dog lover of that! You will very soon learn a dog may be a dog, but when he is YOUR dog, you know better. He may or may not share your bed or your meal, but he will always share the love and unbreakable bond that ties the two of you together at the heart.

To began one of the first stories with a dog name Tank almost broke my heart to pieces. I couldn't believe it because I recently had to euthanize my beautiful, amazing, smart teddibear Rottie name Tank. I was contemplating on if I should purchase this book and even read it so soon after experiencing all my grief with the loss of my wonderful dog. But, although it was difficult reading some stories while shedding tears, this read was worth it all. Dogs are so special with their undeniable, forgivable, unconditional love for their particular human or families, one can't help but honor their memory and grieve their loss💔

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational? Only if you don't mind dogs dying.
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2015

First, let me say I love dogs. I'm on my third one. I love reading about dogs and dog stories. Maybe if the majority of these stories didn't end with the dog dying I would have liked this book more. It could be that I'm super sensitive to this because my current dog has been the best dog I've ever had but is nearing the end of her life. But really, could we just skip the part about them dying and focus on their heroic/loving deeds?

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2016

I've always owned registered Dobermans but when my last one passed away from the same congenital heart condition that killed his mom......I said enough is enough.

I searched through the multi page list of pit bulls and after four weeks I kept going back to the same page with the smiling pictures of "RECKER". So when I went to see him at the home of his rescuers......there he was, exactly like his photos. It was "love at first sight" because it was though I never had not known this super dog.

It turns out he'd been saved just 10 minutes from being killed by the county.

He's been with me 24 hours a day at my legal consulting practice since it's in my home. The vets and their staff say he's just their very favorite (which I'm sure they say to the rest of their patients).

Anyway, he hasn't saved anybody yet but I don't care , I just wish I could adopt lots more of these wonderful "nanny dogs."
