Six Truths about the Effects Dogs Have on Our Lives Apr 11, 2022

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. And today I’m going to do our last episode about our new dog book, My Hilarious, Heroic, Human Dog. There truly is something magical about dogs—their natural joy, resilience, and protectiveness are so often combined with affection, intuition, courage, and just plain smarts. And that’s why we keep putting out collections of dog stories. Dogs keep us company, act as our therapists, provide unconditional love, and share in the ups and downs of our lives. Our dogs make us better people. If we rescued them, they rescue us back. If we’re sad, they comfort us. If we need to have more fun, they show us how. They are our protectors, our role models, and our best friends. Here are six truths about the effects dogs have on our lives, taken from six of the 101 stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Hilarious, Heroic, Human Dog

Six Truths about the Effects Cats Have on Our Lives Apr 01, 2022

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and today I want to share six stories from our book about clever, curious, caring cats and talk about the effects cats have on our lives. Because they do have an impact. Somehow, they brighten our days, act as our therapists, and become our best friends—without saying a word. They’re surprisingly clever, comically curious, and truly caring, too. They show us how to live in the moment, find our inner strength, and be the best versions of our human selves. If we rescued them, from a shelter or our back yards, they rescue us back. And their playfulness and antics make us smile, even on our darkest days.
