平凡的感动，不仅是人生的真相，也许，还正是人生的真意。当您被书中的一些故事感动，您会与所爱的人或朋友分享。

慢慢品味每个故事——就像饮用一杯陈年老酒——细细啜饮，思索它们所蕴含的生活意义，慢慢用素心去读，您会发现每个故事都能从不同方面滋养您的心灵、头脑和灵魂。

米兰·昆德拉曾说过：狗是我们与天堂的联结。它们不懂何为邪恶、嫉妒、不满。在美丽的黃昏，和狗儿并肩坐在河边，有如重回伊甸园。即使什么事也不做也不觉得无聊——只有幸福平和。单纯、信任、爱与矣怀，狗狗带给我们的就是这种最深切的感动。

这是一本充满温情、爱心的原版英文书。在忙碌的生活中。偶尔看一看这类清泉式的图书，感觉相当不错!还有，小狗们真的很可爱!我尤其喜欢看小动物憨憨的可爱样子。书中的故事是溫暖无敌的。让人心情愉快。不追求掠夺所有人的眼泪，但会不经意但又精确地击中人心目中最脆弱的地方——生活，总会给人造成一些脆弱点的。书中少了一些刻意造作的煽情。有的是真挚、朴素的感动，不需用千言万语去制造煽情的情节，简单的一个故事，已经能令人感动不已。

平凡的感动，不仅是人生的真相，也许，还正是人生的真意。
