"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."-- Janet
Leimeister, Events Manager, The Capitola Book Store
"Buddy Unchained is a valuable tool in teaching the message of
compassion and empathy toward animals." --Lisa Desjardins,
Vice-President, Aroostook Animal Welfare Awareness Group
"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 artist'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."--Catherine Ciarrocchi, book buyer
"The Gryphon Press'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. " --Lauren Briskin,
Interim Humane Education Coordinator, Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society
