>> Great book
Reading this book was so much fun I would laughed at something that the girls did and it would trigger a memory of my beloved Jackie I know it is hard losing a loving family member but I know both Gracie and Jackie are playing in the puppy dog heaven park Thanks Dan and Mark for such a great story and giving me back the loving memories of my best friend Jackie
>> Truly Amazing
A very entertaining heartwarming and funny read This book chronicles the building of a successful business all based on the love of one special dog Well written from an honest and caring viewpoint A terrific read
>> Wonderful story
Simply put one of the best dog stories I ve ever read The cute drawings perfectly illustrate the text and made me laugh Many wonderful memories about Gracie and her role in the creation and running of Three Dog Bakery Fair warning to the soft of heart along with the laughter and smiles is of course tears because sadly all dogs eventually go to heaven
What truly makes Gracie a special dog is the unspoken part of her story that because of her many dogs have either been saved from death or had their life spans increased Both Three Dog Bakery and the Gracie Foundation were created because of her and both organizations have helped saved numerous dogs from death Three Dog Bakery through it s products and recipes has provided dog lovers a way to better provide their dogs a healthier diet and the Gracie Foundation acts as a Red Cross for dogs in need
Hopefully another reviewer has put the following more eloquently than I What made this book memorable for me was that it showed how adopting a special needs animal although challenging is greatly rewarding Maybe it s because a special needs pet requires more attention and the more love and attention we as people give the more rewarding the relationship and the closer we feel to our friend in fur scales feathers shell etc I certainly feel that way about my special needs cat
FYI Gracie was born November 11 1989 and passed away January 21 1999 Dottie was born September 1 1988 and passed away on June 23 1999 just a few months after Gracie Sarah born February 1 1987 and passed away December 31 2001 a year after this book was published Dye and Bekloff continue to love dogs but they sold their interest in Three Dog Bakery and are now involved in real estate
