Summary: A gem of a story!
Review: Kudos to the amazing Ginny & her friends! This is a truly heart-warming tale that will probably leave you as charmingly baffled as it did me. It's not so much that Ginny rescues cats, it's that she ***finds*** cats in need of rescuing. By the way, this book's sequel is just as poignant, stirring, & amusing.Philip, my family & I would love to meet you & Ginny someday. Thanks for your kindness.

Summary: My 'non-reader' 9 year old son read this from cover to cover
Review: My son and I both read this book and loved it. It is very unique and incredible. Anyone who loves cats, dogs, or any animals will be glad they bought this book. When I picked my son up from 4th grade last week, instead of playing with friends in the playground, where he usually is, I found him sitting in the sandbox reading this book - which has never happened before! Now he wants his teacher to read it to the whole class, and is begging me to buy the sequel. He didn't have to beg much, as I also am anxious to hear more about Ginny's adventures. This is a beautiful miraculous tale that will warm your heart and fill your soul with gladness.

Summary: Heart-warming but not maudlin: a winner!
Review: The perfect book for anyone who loves both dogs and cats. As other readers have noted, the real story belongs to Philip Gonzalez, as we learn how one small dog can transform a human life. Gonzalez, a war veteran, injured in an industrial accident, finds himself broke, isolated and bitter. He doesn't want to leave his apartment until a caring neighbor provides the best mental health remedy: "Get a dog. Now!" Philip adopts Ginny and, sure enough, they heal each other. Never a cat person, Philip gets drawn to the feline species, literally, as Ginny sniffs out disabled cats and begs Philip to take them home. He now has a purpose in life and I am delighted to see the success of his books: he feeds dozens of cats and pays their vet bills, day after day. Gonzalez shares his story in a matter-of-fact style, yet he's sensitive and caring. The street cats and dogs deserve a home, he says, just like Ginny. Meanwhile, he keeps them alive as best he can and shares the love by finding adopters whenever possible.

Review: This books was truely inspiring to me. Because of this book I have started helping my sister and brother-in-law to feed strays in their area. My husband and I have built a kitty condo for them. I tell everyone that likes animals to read Philips books. I am also starting a web page in the hopes of helping more cats.

Summary: Dog who rescues Humans
Review: This is a heart warming story for all cat and dog people. It is a tale of hope, motivation and love. Buy one for yourself read it and then buy several copies for friends and family. Money raised from the sale of the book also goes towards the efforts of these two.
