The Dog CollectiveMy dog teaches me something about myself every single day; to be a kinder, more patient version of myself. And I am grateful for that." Anne van Gessel There is a reason why dogs and humans have always shared a special bond. Comforting, resourceful and loyal to a fault, dogs can bring joy where there is brokenness. This extraordinary collection of short stories from dog owners across the United States and beyond celebrates that binding relationship.
