Synopsis

How sad it would have been had Cole disappeared into that dark room in the back of the shelter, alone and frightened, as if he never existed. This is often the fate of dogs afflicted with medical issues. Cole, a senior dog with cancer, was discarded by his owner, much like throwing away an old pair of shoes.

In 2015, Michele and Jeff Allen said enough is enough and started Monkey's House, a dog hospice and sanctuary. Celebrating the beauty each dog has to offer, they have welcomed over 100 hospice dogs into their home. Thankfully, Cole was rescued by Monkey's House and experienced his final chapter of life filled with dignity and love.

This book highlights thirty-seven of the dogs that have called Monkey's House home. Share in their journeys, laugh at their crazy antics, and shed a few tears while witnessing miracles of transformation. Rejoice along with these dogs, knowing they experienced the greatest gift of all, the healing power of love.

Goodreads review by Mary

I usually don’t review books, but this one touched me very deeply. Jeff’s writing style is very soft and easy to read. Hospice dogs spend a short time with us, and then, they free themselves to wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge. Jeff’s brief mention of the passing of each of the dogs brought tears t......more
