Whether you like Golden Retrievers or just dogs in general, this book will be a real tearjerker from beginning to end. In fact, the stories were more emotional for me than the ones in the previous book: Lost souls: found: inspirational stories of rescued Boston Terriers. More worse cases of neglect and wrongdoing by humans and unfortunately not all storied end as we would wish them to end.

Coping with the loss of an animal is something we should read about more because a lot of us have already lost an animal once in their life and can really relate to these stories. You'll read about how others cope with their loss and how rescuing a dog can bring their life back on track and maybe yours as well?

The funniest story was definitely the one were a Golden thinks he's adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Santa! One of the most exciting but also saddest stories was the one about Olivia, who was `taken' from a shelter in terrible conditions.

Since Golden Retrievers are one of the cutest and most popular dogs (at least here in Europe) I hope a lot of people will read this book and consider adopting a Golden rather than buying a puppy (do try to say no to dog shops!). Even though they are such popular dogs they also end up in shelters quite much. There might just be the perfect match waiting for you somewhere in a shelter!

This book will keep your full attention at all times and will make you understand why it's such a rewarding, fulfilling job to rescue animals and find or give them their `forever' home.
