Chicken Soup for the Soul: Lessons Learned from My Dog by Amy Newmark

Amy Newmark . Unknown Year . English

Some of the simplest, yet most powerful lessons we learn are often taught by the least likely of our family members - our dogs! We can learn something from them every day if we just open our minds and our hearts to the valuable lessons they are trying to teach. What do we learn from our dogs? 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 our best friends. You’ll laugh a lot, tear up at times, and nod your head in recognition as you read these tales about the wonderful experience of sharing life with a dog. Lessons learned from our dogs come in many forms, from the hilarious to the heroic. You’ll enjoy a wide variety of entertaining stories in these 11 chapters: • Be Ready for Adventure • Be a Friend • Step Outside Your Comfort Zone • Be Open-Minded • Find Your Purpose • Find Your Inner Strength • Live in the Moment • Miracles Happen • Get On with Life • Saying Goodbye with Gratitude • Sometimes You Just Have to Laugh And your purchase of this book will help support the important work of American Humane, creating a better life for dogs everywhere. Chicken Soup for the Soul books are 100% made in the USA and each book includes stories from as diverse a group of writers as possible.

About the Author

Kat grew up in the small town of Riverview, Florida, where she spent most of her time either drawing or sitting in her "reading tree" with her nose buried in a fantasy novel...except for the hours pretending her back yard was an enchanted forest that could only be reached through the secret passage in her closet... She never could give up on the idea that maybe she really was magic, mistakenly placed in a world not her own...but as the years passed, and no elves or fairies carted her away...she realized she was just going to have to create the life of her fantasies. Now she shares that life with her husband and two kids. Ok, maybe "share" isn't the right word--more like lives that life in her writing and tries her best to be normal the rest of the time... The boring stuff: She graduated from the University of Tampa--Magna Cum Laude, B.S. in Biology (yep, a science geek, too). She spent several years teaching, but never in a traditional classroom--everything from Art to Algebra II (yep, a math geek, too)--and now she homeschools her two kids. Her writing spans the gamut from inspirational personal essays to dark and disturbing fantasy and horror.
