Discover a place where every animal is safe, loved, and allowed to live out its natural life. Here is the inspiring true story of Best Friends, an animal sanctuary a few dedicated people made happen, and thousands of furry and feathered friends have called home. Meet the residents, including Sinjin, the badly burned black cat, and Sparkles, the broken-down packhorse. Meet their rescuers: a famous symphony conductor, a successful architect, veterinarians, and others. Most of all, fall in love with the animals and people who share a special bond and whose often comic, sometimes poignant, always enchanting adventures together will touch your heart—and teach us all the true meaning of Best Friends.

“For everyone who has ever loved a pet, this is a message of the universal love between animals and people.”—Booklist ©2001 Sam Alan, Inc.; (P)2001 Books on Tape, Inc.

Tears and laughter are so entwined in the story of Best Friends. I was so pleased when I found out about this book. I had heard about this sanctuary years ago, especially Dogtown. The story is even more compelling in the book. If I were able I would be a visitor .

I have never read a more heartwarming, honestly told story in my life. Makes me want to be in Utah helping these people. I found the people and the animals so wonderful and the hard work that the people had from the beginning and they never faltered. This is a must read for anyone who loves animals or contributes to any organization. I highly recommend it.

I first heard about the Best Friends organization when they were involved with the rescues after Hurricane Katrina. I am so glad I found this book and learned about the organization--it's beginnings, goals, and many, many successes. It is a fairly old book, but I have visited their website to catch up with their progress, and was glad to see they have grown and fulfilled many of their dreams since the book ended. I have a huge soft spot for all animals, and Best Friends is an organization to be admired for all the good they have done, and will continue to do on behalf of animals. This book is very interesting, well written and narrated very well. Side note--the book does not focus on tragedies or the sadder aspects of rescuing and helping animals--it is very uplifting. I guess the best praise would be that I bought five hard copies of this book to be able to share with some of my fellow animal-loving friends!!

Very Sweet!
