The Dogs of Proud Spirit is a testament to the undeniable truth that animals enrich our lives. They give us—and teach us to give—boundless joy and unconditional love.
What does an unlikely pack of stray and homeless dogs have in common with a certain herd of downtrodden horses? They were all lucky enough to wind up in the loving arms of Melanie Sue Bowles and her husband, Jim, founders of Proud Spirit Horse Sanctuary. And that good fortune would change all of their lives, human and animal, in ways never imagined. Author Melanie Sue Bowles introduced readers to this extraordinary place of healing in her debut book, The Horses of Proud Spirit, and in the inspiring sequel, Hoof Prints: More Stories from Proud Spirit. Now Melanie graces readers once again with unforgettable true stories, this time about the numerous dogs who have found their way to the Bowles’s gate and into their hearts.

"A moving tribute to the rescuers and the rescued and the world they create together--a world rich with characters and adventures, love, hope, and sanctuary." Susannah Charleson, author of Scent of the Missing: Love and Partnership with a Search and Rescue Dog
