Are you curious about that Magical Connection between humans and animals, especially dogs? Well, join Amy Newmark, Chicken Soup for the Soul publisher, and me on Wednesday, February 28th, from 10 AM -11 AM CT U.S. We will be discussing that fun Special Human–Animal Bond from their latest release, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Me and My Dog - 101 Tales of Canine Companionship.

These stories will have dog lovers laughing, tearing up, and nodding their heads in recognition. The experiences are touching, inspiring, and sometimes mindboggling stories as to how dogs enrich our lives, become part of our families, and make us better people.

“It’s remarkable how much dogs add to our lives,” says Amy Newmark. “Our writers report on how their dogs helped them improve their relationships, acted as natural therapists, and showed them how to overcome their own challenges. They learned how to be better humans through the examples of their dogs’ loyalty, faith, forgiveness, and resilience.”

In keeping with Chicken Soup for the Soul’s support for pet adoption and shelters, the 101 stories chosen for the book from thousands of submissions are inspirational and fun and feature rescued dogs, including black dogs and senior dogs, which are often left behind at shelters. Chicken Soup for the Soul’s mission is to make people think “shelter first” when they’re considering adding a new pet to their families.
