Ever wonder how do dogs do it? They somehow magically brighten our days, act as our therapists, and become our best friends without saying a word. They’re frequently hilarious, often heroic, and surprisingly human, too. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, they rose to the occasion and transformed that stay-at-home experience.

Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Hilarious, Heroic, Human Dog will have dog lovers laughing, tearing up, and nodding their heads in recognition as they dive into 101 heartwarming stories about all the ways in which dogs enrich our lives, bond 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. 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.

Chicken Soup for the Soul is donating royalties from this book to American Humane. This effort is part of the company’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.

Join Amy Newmark and me on Tuesday, Sept 7, 10-11 A.M. CT U.S. We will have a conversation about how dogs help us improve our relationships, acted as natural therapists, show us how to overcome challenges, and how to be better people.
