Summary: A great story that anyone with a dog should read
Review: After loosing my golden that I had had since age 7, for as long as I could remember, a friend bought me this book. It was truly excellent and brought this 6' 8" man to tears on a constant basis. His descriptions of a guardian angel in the form of a dog could not be more accurate. I have bought numerous copies of the books since to give to friends and fellow dog owners.

Summary: Life Changing Book
Review: Angel By My Side is not a book "just" about a dog. It is also not a book about an exceptional dog (Golden Retriever) or
an average dog. Angel By My Side is a book about life. This
book is a book about what most all of us want in life: nurturing, acceptance, healing, attention, fun, and last but not
least: unconditional love. Anyone (child or adult) who is an animal lover or needs to hear a "feel good" story will love this book. I'm picking up several of the books for Christmas gifts.

Summary: AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME
Review: As a Puppy Raiser for Southeastern Guide Dogs, I know that dogs are exceptional and are often guardian angels. This book, however, tells the story of Dakota who is not only a guardian angel for his owner, Mike, but his spirit guide. Through the gentle encouragement from Dakota, Mike has found his mission in life - to educate others about the human-animal bond and about the specialness of service animals. Bravo Mike for telling this truly amazing and touching tale of love, generosity and spirit.

Summary: A must read for those interested in Animal Assisted Therapy
Review: I finished reading the book yesterday and found it to be a moving and compelling story. For those who have ever doubted the healing power of animals or for those who are already familiar with such miracles, this book is a must read. It also serves as a wake up call for pet owners who sometimes don't (want to) remember what a short time we have with our beloved four footed friends.

Summary: I am buying this for everyone!
Review: I got this as a gift at Christmas and it took me months to read. What a sweet surprise. Whether you are a dog person or not, this is a must read! I was reading on the plane and kept
getting tears streaming out. I would put it away, compose myself and then have to get it out again. The worst part of the book was when it ended...I wanted more! Such a great story with so many lessons about life! Take the time to read this! You will not be sorry!

Summary: Life Changing Book
Review: I will never be the same after reading "The Angel by My Side" thank goodness! It changed my mind and my heart for the better.
Suffering depression and aniexty is no longer a shadow behind me. I cried reading the book not realizing the tears where also a cleansing for my own soul. My smile is now a real one, My happiness is genuine, and I wake up each morning in celebration of a new day! Dakota is still about his business, offering a message of hope in our lives. Truly he was an angel in disguise.
Thank you Dakota for re-directing my life in a positive way! I smile knowing you are still saving lives :)
