About this listen
Follow Delta and her puppies Oscar, Christmas, Bonnnie, Misha, and Alexandra from the pups' conception throughout their lives, in this memoir of a German shepherd dog family. The stories highlight their triumphs and tragedies.
These dogs comforted dying patients and their families, overcame immense adversity, and never lost their love for life and for people, from newborns to 90-year-olds.
Find out how the "Delta Dash" and artificial insemination from a dog who lived in Canada made their breeding in Georgia possible. Laugh along with breeders George and Alice and their friends through the hilarious naming process. Learn along with them about canine medical problems they had never heard of. Empathize with responsible breeders when despite their efforts nature does not cooperate. Sympathize with prayers for the pups' survival when life-threatening medical conditions strike, and feel the tension when unconventional medical treatments offer the only hope.
Cheer when the pick of the litter struts at her first dog shows. Smile at the dogs' sheep herding efforts, and their owners' efforts to get their beautiful puppies' ears up and perfect. Cry over the inevitable tragedies that come with breeding a litter of puppies, keeping and loving four of them, and eventually having to say goodbye. These dogs and their breeder/owners' lives were intertwined for more than a decade, and each of them left indelible marks on the souls of the others. The stories, written by Alice, reflect the love.

The diagnosis devastated her, but she decided to fight it, learning everything she could about the best treatment for Seamus.

When Cara felt her teenaged children slipping away and saw an empty nest on the horizon, she decided the best way to fill that void was with dogs - lots of them - and so her foster journey began. In 2015, her Pennsylvania farm became a haven for Operation Paws for Homes. There were the nine puppies at once, which arrived with less than a day's notice; a heart-worm positive dog; a deeply traumatized stray pup from Iraq; and countless others who just needed a gentle touch and a warm place to sleep.

Animals bring out the goodness, humanity, and optimism in people and speak directly to our souls. This joyous, inspiring, and entertaining Chicken Soup collection relates the unique bonds between animals and the people whose lives they've changed: such as the dolphins who helped a paralyzed woman heal when doctors offered little hope; the dog who brought life into a failing marriage; the kitten who helped a mother mourn; and the flying squirrel who taught a man the power of laughter.

At loose ends with her daughter leaving home and her husband on the road, Sue Halpern decided to give herself and Pransky, her under-occupied Labradoodle, a new leash - er, lease - on life by getting the two of them certified as a therapy dog team.

In the unlikely sounding arena of a public nursing home, she led her teammate into a series of encounters with the residents that revealed depths of warmth, humor, and insight Halpern hadn't expected.

More than 15 years ago, Tamar Geller began her career as a dog trainer by observing a scientific study of wolves in the wild. She realized that the socialization and parenting techniques they used to raise their cubs were rooted in bonding, communication, and play: not in aggression, dominance, or punishment. If people used these techniques when training their dogs, she realized, there would be no need for prong collars, choke chains, or any kind of physical or verbal aggression.

When best-selling mystery writer David Rosenfelt and his family moved from Southern California to Maine, he thought he had prepared for everything. They had mapped the route, brought three GPSs for backup, as well as refrigerators full of food, and stoves and microwaves on which to cook them. But traveling with 25 dogs turned out to be a bigger ordeal than he anticipated, despite RVs, the extra kibble, volunteers (including a few readers), and camping equipment.

Not a dog person but the narration carries it
I'm giving this one the benefit of the doubt because I'm not a dog person. I had a real hard time sympathizing with the author. That said I thought Kristin James carried the book. She sounded so authentic that I listened through the whole thing. She cared so I cared—and that says something.
Also the book has the best gritty noir quote not actually found in a gritty noir novel.
