Angelic Tails and Hope Rising

Angelic Tails by Joan Wester Anderson is made of true stories about people who believe that special dogs were sent to them in times of need by God. All the stories in it were truly amazing, but my favorite was Baby's Best Friend, which I will read over and over for years to come. 

  Hope Rising by Kim Meeder is also made of true stories, but not about dogs. Instead, it is about a ranch in Oregon that rescues abused and neglected horses and pairs them with emotionally disadvantaged children. I cried several times while reading this book from both sadness and happiness. I strongly recommend both these books to anyone who loves animals and reading.
