A review by kamiellen
Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul by Jack Canfield

2.0

Reading this collection while having pets was absolutely heartwarming and made me love my cat and dog even more. But WARNING: the "Saying Goodbye" chapter is (as expected) all about beloved animals dying, so either space out your reading or prepare for a cry fest (I sobbed at least thrice).

I highly recommend any of the Chicken Soup books for quarantine reading, as they're predictable, uplifting, and feel safe. Yet on the other hand, these pieces feel dated - they follow the same pattern and all have a similar tone, and it made me realize and feel thankful for the ways short stories and anecdotes have (generally) improved. All that to say, I'm always down for chicken soup!
