Service Tails

Nothing can be disputed when it comes to the unconditional love and loyalty found in the hearts of dog lovers, for they know it's true because of their four-legged companions live it out in front of them every single moment of their days. So it should come as no surprise that Service Tails by Ace Collins reveals to us some amazing and heart-warming stories of man's best hero. Tucked inside the cover with a Golden Retriever found on the front, you will find 12 true stories that showcase both loyalty, unconditional love all wrapped up in the service to their owners who do it without a fleeting thought. From the first person to take on using a guide dog, to other ways in which service dogs have been utilized to use their eyes to help those out who no longer have that sense of sight.

The best part of these stories is the relationships that are built upon the owner and their dog, as if in some way they become one, one team working together to make more enjoyable and restoring self confidence in those who have had their sight taken from them. These dogs stretch the potential in which they can be used not just in helping to guide their owners from the perils facing them without sight, but creating an everlasting bond that goes beyond words and connects them to the heart of the reader.

You get a chance to discover the back story of the very first guide dog who came to the United States with her own in the 1920's to create the first Guide Dog training school that was originally established in Switzerland. This came at a time when it was hard for society to accept having dogs allowed in public places like restaurants, trains and in public buildings where most had been refused entrance. It would go to show how this man and dog paved the way for more than just a school to teach dogs how to guide their owners but in establishing policies to allow others to utilize their own service dogs in the same manner.

What My Golden Retriever Taught Me About God

Funny sometimes how simple life can be defined when you use analogies that you can easily relate to. For most of us, seeing our pets unconditional love displayed for us, is an easy one for us to relate to. It's simple and it makes perfect sense. No matter how you treat your dog or lose your temper, once you ask for them to come to you they will usually comply. Of course we are talking simple things like yelling at your dog for digging in the backyard again.

So when you see the parallel of how God is so easy to forgive us when we call out to Him, why is it so difficult to make the same comparison. God doesn't believe that we need to be put in a perpetual time out, no, He wants to restore that relationship as quickly as possible because like our relationships we have with our pets we want the very best for them as often as we can provide it.

In the book, What My Golden Retriever Taught Me About God by Rhonda McRae, she uses the times she spends interacting with her own Golden Retriever, Sadie, to show us the easy parallels we can relate to. I love how simply she lays it out for the reader when showing full, unrestrained joy that a dog will display when their master returns home. Tail wagging, boundless energy, tongue hanging out, so much so that can't sit still. So why don't we see that same joy when we return to God's presence?

Rhonda shows us the different ways we can begin to see the subtle changes in our own lives by simply changing our own thought processes and see them through different eyes, God eyes! Then we can begin to truly live in the moment, seeing God in all things, and experiencing all the best God has in store for us.

I received the book for my Kindle compliments of Net Galley and P & R Publishing for my honest review. I think this book does an outstanding job at explaining just how simple our relationship with God can be and it's us that over complicates the process. This book rates a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
