If you have a special place in your heart for animals, grab a box of tissues and pick up a copy of Saved: Rescued Animals and the Lives they Transform by Karin Winegar. Winegar tells the touching stories of various animals saved from shelters and cruelty and of the people who try to heal the damage done to them and revive their trust in human beings. She also tells us of how these rescued animals have helped to touch the lives of many people, from nursing home and hospice residents to a man whose rescued horse helped him to survive the death of his son. These heartfelt stories remind us of the power that the love of an animal can have in our lives.
