Human-Animal Bond Books  

 

 

The following 3 books are wonderful true accounts of the awesome power of the human-animal bond:

 

· “Merle’s Door”   by Ted Kerasote   ( My all time favorite autobiography of a dog/human love story)

 

· “Sight Hound”   by Pam Houston

 

· “Zamba”    by Ralph Helfer

 

 

Two fictional accounts with great dog storylines:

 

· “One Door Away from Heaven” by Dean Koontz 

· “Seize the Night”   by Dean Koontz  ( a cool cat character is also included in this story)

(many other Dean Koontz books also have great

dog/human relationships incorporated into the storylines…)

 

 

 “We travel out of darkness into faith…”

                                Dean Koontz,    Book of Counted Sorrows

 

“Life is a gift that must be given back and joy should arise from it’s possession”        Dean Koontz,    Book of Counted Sorrows

 

 

“Sometimes (once in a great while) your life can change for the better in one moment of grace, almost a sort of miracle.  Something so powerful can happen, someone so special comes along, some precious understanding descends on you so unexpectedly that it just pivots you in a new direction and changes you forever.

 

Given time enough, all things pass away: the sky and the earth and the people caught between. We are put here to bring hope, grace and love into the lives of others.”
