A great story that anyone with a dog should read
After loosing my golden that I had had since age 7, for as long as I could remember, a friend bought me this book. It was truly excellent and brought this 6' 8" man to tears on a constant basis. His descriptions of a guardian angel in the form of a dog could not be more accurate. I have bought numerous copies of the books since to give to friends and fellow dog owners.

The Angel By My Side
Thank you to Mike Lingenfelter for sharing his exceptional story, I absolutely loved this book. Not only is this book inspiring to all who will read it. "The Angel By My Side" will open your heart to what service dogs do for their human "partners", the difficulties and obstacles that each has had to overcome and the truly remarkable work that both Mike and Dakota have done and continue to do. In our "throw-away" society, perhaps this story will also teach people about rescue dogs and what wonderful companions they are (I have a rescue dog of my own). Beware...you will need a box of Kleenex when you read this book.

The powerful connection of dogs and humans
Mike Lingenfelter and David Frei have written a book showing the dramatic bond between humans and their dogs. Mike's experiences with Dakota are dramatic examples of what can often happen, but are so often unheard. Dogs become very attuned to their humans, and so often we ignore what they're saying. This book proves that when you listen, you learn more about yourself, and your dog. It's a powerful book, and I cried during the last half. Dakota and Mike have helped change the way people think about service dogs. Thank you for this wonderful book. Similar Products
