Praise for SAVED

“SAVED is an homage to the profound power of mutual healing. In graceful, simple language, Karin Winegar has written a definitive and compassionate book and essential reading for the new century. These stories are more than the sum of their parts: they reflect relationships and value systems that illustrate the deepest potential for our capacity to be kind and what can happen if we are.” Susan Richards, author of “Chosen by a Horse” New York Times bestselling novel

“This book reminds us that there are so many people out there taking animals into their hearts, their homes, and their lives.  All of the stories presented here convey one simple truth, that when it comes to animals, we receive far more than we give, in love, comfort, and happiness.” Wayne Pacelle, President, Humane Society of the United States

“Wow. Karin Winegar has a marvelous feel for animals and an equally marvelous feel for a good story. As a result, this book will break your heart, then heal it anew.” Mariah Burton Nelson, author of “The Unburdened Heart: Five Keys to Forgiveness and Freedom” and “We Are All Athletes.”

“SAVED is a graceful book full of kindness and human charity.  With stories both happy and sad, the book is a beautiful reminder that our fellow creatures have gifts of their own to share with us, and that active compassion for animals makes us better people.” Matthew Scully, former Presidential speechwriter and author of “Dominion”

Bravo to all those who rescue dogs (in SAVED), the anonymous heros, those among the shadows who do what must be done. Although it is recognized that without them many human lives would not have been saved, some people continue to abandon these precious beings who help our emotional and physical survival. Those dogs abandoned by their unworthy masters don’t subsequently hesitate a second to risk their lives to save ours. Bravo and thank you to the dogs! Brigitte Bardot
