You hold in your hands the ticket for a very special journey: Chicken Soup for the Cat Dog Lover's Soul This collection of true stories about cats, dogs (and other critters) is guaranteed to warm your heart and lift your spirits—in the same way that our pets cheer and inspire us daily. In fact, those of us who live with cats and dogs know that our animal companions are ''Chicken Soup for the Soul."
Cat lovers will tell you that cats are poetry in motion, living sculptures at rest, and that the warm weight of a purring cat on your lap is a surefire cure for what ails you.
Dogs also have a tremendous talent for melting our hearts with their unquestioning devotion and unbridled enthusiasm for us, their people. Dog lovers can attest that sharing your life with a dog, or two, can be as entertaining as it is comforting.
In today's crazy, busy world, pets, perhaps more than anything else, teach us to appreciate the simple joys of life.
It all started a long, long time ago, when one day a human reached down and patted a dog or cat as a reward for helping with the hunt, guarding a home or polishing off pesky rodents. In that instant, something magical happened—the human-animal bond was born.
