Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Dogs: 101 Tales of Family, Friendship and Fun will have dog lovers laughing, tearing up, and nodding your heads in recognition as you dive into heartwarming and often hilarious stories about all the ways in which dogs enrich our lives, become part of our families, and make us better people.

We learn so much from our canine companions, and along the way, they keep us company, provide unconditional love, and share in the ups and downs of our lives. Besides exploring the Unique Human–Animal Bond, the book has 17 stories about Staying Home with the Dog during the Coronavirus Pandemic.

What do we learn from them? Everything! Our dogs make us better people. If we rescued them, they rescue us back. If we’re sad, they comfort us. If we need to have more fun, they show us how. They are our protectors, our role models, and full family members. And when they’re mischievous? Well, they can get away with just about anything when they look at us that certain way.

Royalties from Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Dogs is donated to American Humane. It is part of Chicken Soup's widespread support for animal shelters and pet adoption, including the donation of Chicken Soup for the Soul pet food to shelters across the country.
