andldquo;Buddy Unchained is a deeply moving look at a dog abandoned and adopted. The story is simple yet of vast importance, and at the end we want nothing more than to make sure that all the Buddys of the world are loved and cared for like this patient, easy-to-please pup.andrdquo;andmdash; Janet Leimeister, Events Manager, The Capitola Book Store
andldquo;Buddy Unchained is a valuable tool in teaching the message of compassion and empathy toward animals.andrdquo; andmdash;Lisa Desjardins, Vice-President, Aroostook Animal Welfare Awareness Group
andldquo;I wanted to say how much my nephew and I have been enjoying Buddy Unchained. He asks me to read it twice in a row each time and the wonderful and moving images make such an impression on him. I can see it in his eyes, facial expressions and comments. I would like to commend firstly, the artistandrsquo;s sensitive and expressive drawings which truly came from the heart. And I would like to commend Gryphon Press for their dedication to the voiceless. I am only now learning more about Gryphon Press and will certainly consider further purchases. More importantly, it has inspired me even more so to become involved in saving animals in need.andrdquo;--Catherine Ciarrocchi, book buyer
andquot;The Gryphon Pressand#39;s inspiring books bring education about empathy and the human-animal bond to children in the form of beautiful fictional picture books. These books have become an integral part of our humane education library program, since they provoke thoughtful dialogue about responsible pet care among our young participants. andquot; --Lauren Briskin, Interim Humane Education Coordinator, Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society
