This collection of stories includes some very remarkable dogs, written by their remarkable owners. Our lead story is by Stu Bykofsky, well known columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News, as he introduces us to his beloved and incredible Cheech, who enriched the lives of all who knew her. Meet 12 more dogs with heartwarming as well as heartbreaking stories and prepare to laugh, applaud and perhaps cry as we share their journeys through life with the people who loved them, along with those who are still here. Most people, and their dogs, live quiet lives of wonder and personal achievement, even if they don't make a splash in the news. But it's the love they bring to their families that makes us appreciate them and how amazing they really are.
