Praise for Angel Dogs : "New Age dog lovers will be moved by these stories and find their faith in their pets' heavenly nature affirmed."--Publishers Weekly Praise for A Dog Named Leaf : "A Dog Named Leaf is a very touching and well-written book that clearly comes from Allen Anderson's heart. Although I am not a religious or spiritual person and couldn't wrap my mind around some of the things that happened in Allen and Leaf's story, the more I read, the more my skepticism melted. I am convinced of Leaf's ability to sense what Allen needed. This book will make readers feel as if they know Leaf, and they'll grow to love him too." -Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, PhD, New York Times best-selling author of twenty-four books, including When Elephants Weep, Dogs Never Lie about Love, and The Dog Who Couldn't Stop Loving "With its dramatic dual journey, A Dog Named Leaf explores the intangibles of health and healing without attempting to explain them away. This memoir's pulse-pounding brushes with danger, startling synchronicities, and insights on fulfilling one's purpose in life offer hope and new perspectives on the expansive power of love. It truly is the most unusual dog book ever." - Dr. Marty Becker , resident veterinarian on Good Morning America and The Dr. Oz Show and featured columnist vetstreet.com "When I rescued my companion dog Jethro years ago, I realized this wonderful being also rescued me and taught me numerous valuable life lessons. Many people have similar stories, and this wonderful book about another amazing dog, Leaf, will be impossible to put down. In A Dog Named Leaf, two guys-a troubled and scarred shelter dog and a former police officer turned writer-face life and death challenges together. Its unexpected twists and turns kept me pinned to the pages and cheering for Leaf and Allen to heal and succeed together. The strong compassionate emotional bonds they formed-deep and enduring friendship and love-will move you in many ways. Read this most inspirational book and share it widely." - Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals, Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals, and The Animal Manifesto: Six Reasons for Expanding Our Compassion Footprint , Praise for Angel Dogs : "New Age dog lovers will be moved by these stories and find their faith in their pets' heavenly nature affirmed."--Publishers Weekly, Praise for Angel Dogs : "New Age dog lovers will be moved by these stories and find their faith in their pets' heavenly nature affirmed."--Publishers Weekly Praise for A Dog Named Leaf : "A Dog Named Leaf is a very touching and well-written book that clearly comes from Allen Anderson's heart.

It conveys beautifully the vulnerability and richness of a dog''s life and the connection between their biographies and our own."-Jonathan Balcombe, author of Second Nature "Part Marley and Me and part Jon Katz, A Dog Named Leaf by the Minnesota writing team of Allen and Linda Anderson is the story of an abandoned cocker spaniel the couple rescued, despaired of, learned to love...The Andersons hire dog communicators to get to the bottom of Leaf''s problems. ("I was left," Leaf apparently tells one of them mournfully.) But more problems loom: Allen Anderson is found to have a brain aneurysm, and he faces risky surgery. And then doctors find a blood clot in his leg. It is Leaf, Anderson wants us to know, who helped him through this terrible time, just as he helped Leaf adjust to his new home...While you might not believe everything in this very spiritual book (and how I wish their method of calmly explaining the rules to Leaf so that he will stop misbehaving would work with my Rosie), the story is endearing, and the many photographs of Leaf running, swimming, and chasing a tennis ball in south Minneapolis are adorable." LAURIE HERTZEL, BOOKS EDITOR, Minneapolis Star Tribune, October 27, 2012
Synopsis
A New York Times bestseller!2012 Outstanding Book Award from the American Association of Journalists and Authors (ASJA).Allen and Linda Anderson adopted a traumatized one-year-old cocker spaniel who had been abandoned. Soon, the troubled dog they named "Leaf" turned their home into a war zone. Although Leaf and Allen were forging a friendship with visits to dog parks and bonding time, Leaf's emotional issues overwhelmed the couple. Shortly after Leaf's arrival, Allen, who had spent eight years as a big city police officer and survived so many close calls that Linda called him "Miracle Man," received a diagnosis from his doctor that made him think his luck had finally run out. Allen had an unruptured brain aneurysm that could be fatal, and the surgery to repair it might leave him debilitated. Having seen his father live for years with the effects of a massive stroke, he dreaded that the worst fate might not be death. What Allen didn't know is that he and Leaf, like comrades facing the ultimate battle, would be there for each other with the miracle of this man and this dog coming together at exactly the right time.., A New York Times bestseller 2012 Outstanding Book Award from the American Association of Journalists and Authors (ASJA).
