"A true story of health and healing of both Leaf the dog and Allen
the person. Anyone who loves dogs and believes in the bond that forms between
them and their humans will truly love this book, and realize animals give
"unconditional love and have the ability to heal human hearts." Great
book."

in south Minneapolis are adorable."

"I wasn’t sure I was going
to like this book. I have read so many books about how a dog saved the human
owner from depression/loneliness/alcoholism/ etc. that the theme has almost
become a cliché and the books often lapse into sentimentality. A Dog Named Leaf
is anything but a cliché. It is a beautifully written, carefully edited book
filled with love, humor and spirituality with photos of Leaf scattered
throughout..."

EXCERPT FROM A REVIEW ON AMAZON.COM
"5.0 out of 5 stars. Transcends the Pet-Animal Story Genre by
Leaps and Bounds. I finished this book in two sittings. It's a page-turner.
It's about every day life in its most usual aspects -- making a living and
partnering with your spouse. But it's also about how the past weaves seamlessly
with the future to make you whole. It's also about life and death -- enduring a
life-threatening illness and having to go way beyond preconceived limits of
patience and stamina.
"However, the heart of this story is where the golden nugget lies.
What you read bypasses the mind completely and rings a bell deep inside you.
You ask yourself: Could this really happen? For some, the events described may
strain credulity. However, author Allen Anderson brings you step-by-step into
the shared world of man and dog in a way that directly addresses the most
spiritual part of ourselves.
"And it transcends the pet/animal -- human connection books that
are plentiful on the market. What you see unfolding is a special inner and
outer weaving of events by both human and animal that most of us aren't aware
of.
"I finished the book and wondered: What do animals really KNOW?
Are they doing these kinds of things all the time? Who ARE they, really? And it
makes you wonder if you can discover these invisible connections in your own
life.
"This isn't another story of a warm-hearted friendship between a
man and his dog -- though it is this too. This is about how a dog -- with great
love --actually entered the inner reality of his friend to help save him -- and
was able to succeed where human explanations and efforts failed. Quite a coup
for a little four-legged creature who was once abandoned, and then found by
this remarkable author."
--Barbara B.

An inspiring healing journey of comrades facing the ultimate battle. This man and this dog are there for each other at exactly the right time for miracles to occur.
A Dog Named Leaf is the true story of a paradigm shift. We "crazy" dog lovers (you know who you are) have waited for someone to reveal what happens in our homes every day. One reviewer wrote, "This is about how a dog with great love actually entered the inner reality of his friend to help save him and was able to succeed where human explanations and efforts failed."
