After a busy day, I look forward to cozying up with the warm comfort of my little spaniel Kelly and a good book. So when I discovered Phyllis Hobe\u2019s Angels in Disguise<\/em><\/a>, I knew I\u2019d found the perfect combination.<\/p>\n

The angels in this book are a most inspiring assortment of dogs, cats, birds, cows, chickens and other animals. The jacket copy states that there\u2019s something special about animals that touches people lives. I couldn\u2019t agree more. Ever since I\u2019ve been writing the Guideposts column \u201cPawsitively Pets,\u201d I\u2019ve heard from readers about the bond they share with their pets. And I\u2019ve also shared how my own dog Kelly nudges me out of my comfort zone, and even improves my health by going on a diet with me<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this book, we see how animals are caretakers like Munchie the pony who helped a woman battling a crippling disease gain strength and courage. They are comforters, like Olivia the white cat who made a mysterious appearance from beyond. They are protectors like Barney, the stray dog who wouldn\u2019t leave a badly injured woman\u2019s side, except briefly to answer the phone. (You\u2019ll have to read it to see how!)<\/p>\n

God sends us animals to love and comfort us. And it\u2019s a treat to find so many of their stories compiled together in one inspiring book. Tonight I\u2019m curling up on my chair next to Kelly again, and maybe I\u2019ll even read her a few Angels in Disguise<\/em><\/a> stories out loud. I think she\u2019ll like the ones about Jellybean the rabbit, and Buckwheat the Singing Dog. And while I\u2019m at it, I\u2019ll take the time to thank Him for all the angels in disguise in my own life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
