- How to "walk a mile in a dog's paws" to get a brand-new perspective
- Living with a dog is not one continuous Hallmark moment--but it's never dull
- Why having a dog helps you see your faults and quirks in a new light, even if you can't "shed" them completely
- How to set the world right, one dog at a time

For anyone who loves, lives with, or has ever wanted a dog, this charming book shows how the dogs whose lives we save can change ours for the better too.
