Two Different Takes On "A Dog Named Leaf" by Allen and Linda Anderson (UPDATED)

I like Leaf, Woof!  Woof!

A Dog Named Leaf by Allen and Linda Anderson tells the true story of a man facing life-threatening brain surgery and the love and life lessons learns from his dog, Leaf. Leaf is an awesome dog! My dog, Abby, and Leaf would be good friends.

I found out about Leaf in my current issue of BEST FRIENDS magazine and LOVED it. If you have a dog, had a dog or are between dogs, you will be able to relate well to this book. For you it is a must read! God’s blessing to your wife and you, Mr. Anderson, and give Leaf a treat and a belly rub for me!

A Dog Named Leaf--The Hero from Heaven Who Saved My Life is one of the books my husband and I differ on. He loved it but I found myself having to plow through. The majority of the book is about Allen and his brain surgery and the special bond he has with his dog, Leaf. It does contain some issues that the dog had when they first got it from the shelter and how the dog improved in time. The dog inspired Allen to persevere, not give up and to face his fears. I was bored with it and enjoyed other dog books much more, especially the other book they wrote called Angel Dogs.
