"""Pawsitive Perspectives: Life Lessons from the Shelter Dog Who Became Queen by Carrie Lehtonen is a precious gem of a book. Written through the perspective of Ella, Carrie's canine soulmate, this book illuminates the deep, sacred, and precious relationship between two souls...one human and one dog. This book is a heartfelt and eloquent expression of how much we can learn, share, and cherish when deeply connected with our animal companions. I felt every emotion as I read this book. It is a precious gift to the world."" - Deb Matlock, Humane Educator, Wild Rhythms, LLC"
