Had to read it all at once…
I just received the book on Friday and thought I would read it slowly
but could not! What wonderful stories! I cried through each one. I love
how Elaine incorporated the dog's point of view into the story. I
believe in destiny. My first adopted pet was a cat and I knew she was
for me when she put out her paw and touched my hand. If not for a little
dog jumping up on his cage he would not have got our attention and we
would not have noticed the other dog beside him and gone home from the
shelter without a dog rather than adopting two. I especially loved the
stories about Yogi and Sal. It is definitely something magical when you
adopt a dog. There are dogs meant for special people. Thank you Elaine
for such wonderful stories. Definitely a must read.

Very heartwarming…
I
loved this book. I wanted to read it all at once, but saved it for a
story per night. Author Elaine Marlier did a great job of writing
through the eyes of the dog. Without giving anything away, I was very
pleased how some of the dog’s chapters complimented each other. Artist
Judith Angell Meyer did a wonderful job of portraying the dogs in each
chapter. This book is a must read. I had tears streaming down my face.
Now I must order the tales of cat adoptions.

What a beautiful book…
I
loved this book. It was so heartfelt and warm. A reminder that we cannot
take animals for granted. They can only “tell” us their needs in so
many ways. We have to be mindful to think of what they need and give it
to them. Our animals love us unconditionally, we should show them the
same respect. This book is a great educational tool as well as it
reminds people to adopt their next pet from a shelter. I highly
recommend this book to anyone who has a dog.

Future Christmas presents…
As a
shelter director, I am always looking for books about shelter animals. I
love reading the success, the love, the friendships that are made, and
this is why I love the Without A Home. It is books like this that give
shelters the power to say “see, this could be you in this story”. I
know that DNJ Books is donating some of their proceeds to help shelters
and rescues. So you can bet I will be getting several of these for
Christmas gifts this year.

This is a wonderful book. It reminds you of the importance of animal
rescue and adopting. Taking a homeless animal into your home is one of
the most rewarding things you can do. This book provides stories that
make you cry, but they also inspire hope.

Touches your heart…
I would recommend this book to anyone that either operates or volunteers
at a shelter! Everyone needs a pick me up now and then, even though this
book will make you cry…it really goes to show you just how important the
job that we do is!

Heartwarming stories…
I loved this book and once I finished it, I donated it to my school for
others to enjoy. These stories bring tears to your eyes, but the endings
are thought provoking.

A gift…
The girls at the health clinic where my wife works gave her this book
when we adopted Zoie. I love it. My wife cried at some of the stories

Wow…I loved it…
I loved this book. It showed some distinct issues that shelter dogs may
come with, and how their adopters worked through this with them.

Wonderful book…
This is a wonderful book. I just don’t know what my live would be like
without my rescue/shelter dogs.
