You will not be disappointed with this book. It is nicely told and quick to read, however, it will linger in your heart for a long time.

Truly Best Friends March 19, 2008 Joyce M. (Georgia) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Lovely, moving, inspiring. What a joy it was to read about the wonderful people who gave so much of themselves to achieve their dream. Their courage and devotion is matched only by the beautiful animals who share their world.
It's all about SOUL August 30, 2007 Matthew DeLuca (Tulsa, OK) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Best Friends is the story of how several dedicated animal lovers used all of their resources to become THE foremost Animal Sanctuary on Earth! Angel Canyon, located in Kanab, Utah is a place where it's all about SOUL. Best Friends Animal Society/Sanctuary understands that, whether two-legged or four-legged, we are ALL precious souls, who deserve love, kindness, respect and to be treated with a reverence for our precious lives. That's correct: ANIMALS HAVE SOULS, just like we human animals do! To think otherwise is to be ignorant, arrogant, speciesist, and one other thing: Wrong. That is what makes Best Friends so special. They recognize and treat animals as their fellow souls. We are all in this together. One life. One love. One Soul. This book captures the love, the kindness, the dedication, and the soul of everyone at Best Friends, four-legged and two-legged! My favorite part of the book is the story about the two brother cats, Tommy and Tyson. The cats were born on the streets, because someone wasnt responsible enough to SPAY or NEUTER their cats. A wonderful woman fed the cats and gave them fresh water, daily. While doing so, she noticed that the two brothers would always walk side by side, with their tails intertwined, as if they were Siamese Twins. The kind woman couldnt understand what that meant. The woman realized that the cats were in danger, as they always crossed the busy City streets. So, she contacted Best Friends. Best Friends glady accepted the cats, and when the cats received a check-up from the veterinarian, the woman finally found out why Tyson and Tommy always walked together, with their tails intertwined: One of the cats was blind!! HIS BROTHER WAS GUIDING HIM ACROSS THE STREET TO SAFETY, BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT HIS BROTHER COULDNT SEE WHERE HE WAS GOING! That was why their tails were intertwined, and why one of the brothers seemed to be guiding his brother to safety......because he WAS guiding his brother to safety! We can learn alot from our animal soulmates, if we only would take the time to watch them, and learn from them, and bond with them. At Best Friends, all souls are treated equally, as one family. That is why Best Friends are so loved around the world: they are the real deal. I am honored to be a monthly donor to Best Friends' programs. I cant think of anything better to do with my money than to give it to my fellow souls who need it most: The cats, dogs, bunnies, etc of this world who are often neglected, or forgotten, or sent to a death chamber, even though they have not committed any crimes, and even though they are as equally precious as the rest of us. This book offers a glimpse into the SOUL of Best Friends. I recommend it to any cat lover, dog lover, bunny lover, or to ANY animal lover for that matter. This is a very special book, about very special souls, at a very special place. To learn more about Best Friends, and all of the precious souls who live there, please visit: [...] I hope that you enjoy this book, while cuddled next to YOUR precious cat or dog. After all, they are precious souls, who happen to be members of the family, too!
Good animal stories February 16, 2007 MB (Chesapeake Beach, Maryland) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This was a good book, but I was disappointed in the ratio of actual animals stories to chapters about the trials and tribulations of getting the shelter off the ground. I appreciate what a monumental task it was, but I was thirsty for more about the animals.
