The Dog Who Wooed at the World: Laughing Through Severe Anxiety with My Soul Pup

Inside this full-color book are the real-life twin tales of a trembling pit-beagle and a profoundly anxious, OCD-afflicted college student who (nearly) collided late one night in the middle of a dark street. The pup cowered in the shower during storms and lashed out at strange dogs out of fear. But then, when the stormclouds cleared, something inexplicable occurred: this little white dog, now named Powder, would emit an effervescent "Woo!" It was as if she was telling the girl that the danger had cleared. Together, the duo conquered their fears and learned to thrive—until a whirlwind year of sudden loss, mysterious illness, and intense grief threatened to rip it all apart.Just like Powder, every animal—from the brave little minnow to the mighty elephant—has a story. Those journeys, filled with challenges, triumphs, and even a little mischief, can shed light on our own humanity, expand our empathy, and deepen our connections. The Every Animal Project is a blog that showcases true animal tales, moving and empowering thousands of readers to seek healing both for themselves and the beings who surround us, ultimately transforming our world.Inspired by Powder's courageous adventure, this anthology brings the blog to life, entwining her story with those written by nearly 50 authors from around the globe, along with dozens of photos of these courageous animals.We invite you to dive in and get to know the hooved, pawed, finned, scaled, and feathered beings who share our planet.
