The dogs that Cesar encountered over these many years have impacted him in many different ways and taught him valuable life lessons. He goes onto to say how each dog has taught him admirable qualities that can be found in a dog's innocence, such as resilience and acceptance. Though Millan has shown love for all the dogs he talks about and trains, none have been more special to him that his relationship with Daddy, the pit bull Millan adopted from Redman back in the 90's, who would go on to become Millan's spiritual ally and friend. His stories of Daddy make for some heart-warming reading. Cesar and Peltier, throughout the book, share with us some important scientific studies that were conducted through many years of research from various doctors and experts, as well as joyful anecdotes from celebrities such as Jerry Seinfeld, Kesha and Jada Pinkett Smith explain the ways their own dogs have taught them the joys of unconditional love and happiness.
I'm very honored to have this book a part of my home library, and I hope you make it yours. Perhaps reading about Millan's life and the lives of the dogs he has come across will enrich and enlighten you.
