I am very drawn to books on how animals have changed the lives of us humans. This is a wonderful book and a must have for ones library. MAGGIE - the dog who changed my life, is written by Dawn Kairns and it is indeed A Story of Love. This is from the website:
The connection between Maggie and Dawn is powerful. Genuine and
beautiful, Maggie's essence opens Dawn’s heart, taking her into unexpected personal and professional directions.
Their relationship
opens Dawn's eyes to how intelligent and emotional dogs are; to how
they sense our thoughts. A surprising door to intuition and dream
communication opens for Dawn through the depth of their bond. Maggie’s
radiant spirit becomes interwoven with the fabric of Dawn’s life as the
author experiences the joys of sharing life with a dog who so touched
people as well as the profound grief that comes with the loss of her canine soul mate.
This
beautiful memoir pays tribute to Maggie, a special Labrador retriever; shows the
depth of the human-canine bond; and illustrates that animals accept,
teach, and love unconditionally.
Dawn's book was recently featured in the The American Dog Magazine as an excellent Bedtime Read. I'd agree!
Congratulations Dawn on your award winning book and for touching so many lives.



I am in the process of reading Dawn's book also. Dawn is truly gifted in her writing ability to share the heart and spirit of Maggie. It is a MUST READ book that will have you laughing and crying... but so appreciating and understanding that animals are our kindred spirits.
