Synopsis

When Raelene Phillips first spotted her, Dixie Lee was a cuddly furball, sitting on a pillow in a small cage. It wasn’t long before the puppy was whisked to her new home where she proceeded to warm the hearts of everyone. Chuckle along with the Phillips as you enjoy the canine antics that have delighted them so much. In order to help with training, they immediately bought a “puppy book.” But it never discussed how puppies can T.P. a living room, and it never mentioned how to walk a small dog with a big cow on the other side of the fence. So that book eventually wound up in the trash! The Phillips decided to make their own rules, tailored to a small schnoodle who had stolen their hearts. The late comedienne Gilda Radner once said, “Dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me, they are the role model for being alive.” And a great role model Dixie has been. From conquering her fears and enjoying hilarious adventures to accepting the family’s rules and giving comfort, Dixie has taught her mistress a lesson or two along the way. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and through it all you’ll be challenged by these heartwarming stories of Dixie—as if she were preach- ing from the pulpit. “Raelene Phillips writes of her experiences with a good friend—her little schnoodle named Dixie. Her relationship with this cuddly little ‘person’ is heartwarming and brings back memories of my own relationships with my ‘furry friends.’ Mrs. Phillips relates her experiences with Dixie to God’s Word in a delightful way. This truly is a fun and easy reading book that can bring the faith of God into your life. It’s well worth your time!” —Dr. Milton Wyman, DVM, Founder of the American College of Veterinary Opthamologists, and National Veterinarian of the Year

Charming. Similar to my own blog, the author relates a tale about how her new dog, Dixie, impacts her and her family’s life, then weaves it to a Biblical principle. Relaxing before bedtime read. Told from the POV of a pastor’s wife, it’s a nice insight into the fact that our religious leaders really......more

The author is definitely dog-crazy. And maybe I can’t relate to her so well in some ways, but the spiritual lessons she shares through her dog ring true and were often convicting.......more

Goodreads review by Vicky on April 06, 2014

This was definitely a fun read. The author from the Lima Ohio area talks about this dog named Dixie which she got from a pet store and how the the activities from potty training to even walking him are/or can be lessons to us humans about God and how he cares for us. I really enjoyed this book and w......more
