Dogs of Dreamtime Summary

Dogs of Dreamtime: A Story About Second Chances And The Power Of Love by Karen Shanley

When does a dog's behavior become too dangerous for even the most loving person to accept? Karen Shanley tackles this question in lyrical prose and brings to life her relationships with three very different dogs: Kiera, Molly, and Magic, who all manage to capture Shanley's heart. Dogs of Dreamtime makes readers take a long, hard look at what matters most in life,and what does not-what can and cannot be controlled. This is a touching story that will stay with readers forever.

Dogs of Dreamtime Reviews

A book for people who love their dogs beyond all measure--and who realize, with Karen Shanley, that dogs love us in the same way--sometimes beyond what we deserve. This book suggests some of the deeper reasons for this extraordinary ability to love and for that alone I urge you to read it. I defy you to remain impervious to the magic it contains.--Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of When Elephants Weep and Dogs Never Lie About LoveKaren Shanley's moving memoir is a tribute to the healing power of her relationships with several remarkable dogs. In her search to find answers for her dogs, Shanley also finds answers for herself. Anyone who loves dogs and other animals will find a beautiful wisdom in the unexpected twists and turns her journey takes, and in the many lessons that her dogs offer in the art of life, loss and love.--Suzanne Clothier, world-renowned dog trainer and author of Bones Would Rain From the Sky: Deepening Our Relationships with DogsThere are good personal stories and great personal stories about our interrelationships with other animals. The Dogs of Dreamtime is a great one for showing how our best friends and their wild relatives-any and all animals, for that matter-play a significant role in defining who we are in the grand scheme of things. In the absence of animals it's easy to see that we lose much-perhaps all-of who we are. It will be a sad and very lonely day if we ever wake up and have to ask, Where have all the animals gone?--Marc Bekoff, Ph.D., editor of The Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior and author of Minding Animals: Awareness, Emotions, and Heart and The Ten Trusts: What We Must Do to Care for the Animals We Love (with Jane Goodall)Life offers us opportunities for growth, wisdom, and redemption where we least expect to find them. In The Dogs of Dreamtime, Karen Shanley weaves a spellbinding story where the visceral connection between Shanley and her dogs-all brilliantly portrayed--ultimately transforms her life. This book is a page turner!--Marty Becker, D.V.M., resident veterinarian on ABC TV's Good Morning America and co-author of Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul and The Healing Power of PetsI am used to being pulled into a book that just doesn't want you to put it down written by my favorite non-dog authors. This is the first dog book that pulled me in from opening it and didn't let me put it down until well after 1am last night. I was nodding yes, I understand that, and I was crying sad tears and happy tears.--Tami Bridges, owner of the CSDogBookReview list
