The bond between humans and dogs is more intense than our bond with any other species―there's not even a close second. Dogs are more than just a pet; they are trusted companions. In the presence of a dog, somehow, nothing else matters. A dog is handing out pure love, sparing no expense, and asking absolutely nothing in return. This compilation of heart-warming dog stories illustrates the pure love of these amazing creatures, including extraordinary instances and first-hand accounts of bravery, friendship, loyalty, devotion and companionship down to their very last breath. Perhaps American Humorist Josh Billings said it best: "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself."
