This might sound weird but I swear its a very good thing.. Ive never gotten to finish any of these stories.

One of my favourite stories already! It made me remember my dog Jari. When I started having panic attacks, at 15, my mom adopted a golden retriever puppy to keep me company during the day (cause it got so bad I couldn’t go to school anymore and I was home alone all day). Slowly, he helped me in my recovery and I was able to take a bigger walk every day. He passed away 7 years ago. Thank you Jari, I will always love and remember you! ❤

I just had to put my 15yr old pittie down yesterday. Had her from the day she was born...thank you for this story, perfect timing. Xxoo

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dog its so hard when they leave us .

[@ruthbenton4001]

I'm so sorry for your loss of your dog. You are so lucky to have had your dog for so many years! I am sure the rainbow bridge has amazing play fields for our pets who go before us to play and wait for us in.

[@freebird6331]

I hope you get another dog..

[@ingridhaughney3645]

Sorry you lost your fur friend, I had to put down my 11 year old dog called Ben, gone but no furgotten,

[@nataliespong7700]

It's so hard to say good bye to our dogs. So blessed you were able to bring so much love and bjoy to one anotger for 15 years. That is a long life for that breed. You must have provided him the best.

[@theresabarnaby3879]

I finally heard the whole story and can identify with it. Dogs have been part of our family since 1969 - cairn terriers. My husband, daughter, and have all felt they are essential family members - we laugh, snuggle, and play. Jenna has her own as an adult. My husband died over 2 years ago, and Star and Flash have helped me adjust to a major loss. We do agility and other dog sports - wehave a community. I think about how isolated and depressed i could be at 77. I am so grateful to them for my good life.❤ You have created a beautiful and amazing story - capturing the relationship so well. Thank you

[@patriciaclayton4972]

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband I am so glad that you have your sweet fur babies to give you peace! But there is nothing more than the peace of God that surpasses all understanding and he will guard your hearts in your minds through Christ Jesus and Lord bless you and keep you and give you peace like never before 🙏🏻💖🙏🏻

[@paulwalsh6734]

@theresabarnaby3879 that's heart breaking but also very lovely. I'm sorry for your loss. I wish you peace. X

A little dog brought to this old man a big deal for his monotonous days. A little joy of life , it sometimes might be one's life changed dramatically . So nice story and I love it.

[@robertadizinno5092]

Steve, this was such an uplifting story about how the companionship of a precious pet can make such a significant difference in someone’s life. I could see the joy on the old man face with that little precious pup looking up to him. Thank you. This was definitely a blessed story to hear.

[@dhall7570]

This was such a sweet story. Glad they found each other.

It's incredible to read these comments and how much you help so many with the stories you record and post for all. Thank you. You are a wonderful human being and I'm grateful for what you've given us all. I know you see the good you've done and how you've given peace to so many of us that wouldn't have it otherwise. Please know how you have impacted our lives and that we are beyond thankful.

It's been a month since I lost my best friend, Benny. He passed away before Easter, and he was part of my life since I was 12. He taught me independence and confidence, and now it's gone. I miss him so much. The nights are still the hardest part, but listening to these videos makes me feel better ❤️

I wish everyone a good night and I must say I’m grateful to be here. Stephen’s sleep stories helped me through some rough times. But thanks to both Stephen and you guys I don’t feel alone. Now I’ll enjoy my time along with the sleep story. Thank you, have a wonderful night. 🌙

[@CannaQueen0710]

These stories are so calming. You have a relaxing voice and I don't get 10 min in before I'm asleep and that says a lot bc of my ptsd from abuse and it causing insomnia and fear to sleep! I don't take sleeping meds anymore and only listen to your stories! ❤ thank you.

[@charlotterockel-kennedy8913]

Such a heartwarming story. It was so beautiful that for once I didn't fall asleep. Dogs fill our lives with so much joy and unconditional love ❤ Good night and thank you Stephen. Love from Germany from my two Irish ex racing Greyhounds Tyson ( Kilmore Sea Bird) and Rosie ( Riverside Ciara) xxx ❤❤❤

[@hollybritton7255]

When I was a child, my older brother would tuck me in bed at night and tell me a story. I always wanted a dog story but he loved old cars so they were woven in as well. Loved this, thank you.

[@ZaraMulhall]

Thanks you Stephen for a very heart watering story about the Man and a dog yes I love dogs myself thank you so much

[@MarguiriteWalker]

I miss my little dog Zed. We were constant companions for over 8 yrs. When I got hurt we were separated but I get to see him soon. I am very grateful for the man that gave him a wonderful home. Am looking forward to our reunion. Thank you for the beautiful sleep story.

[@alicew02]

Love listening every night it’s my little routine. I was thinking the other day that a read through of Thumbelina would be lovely or a soothing walk with a lost loved one, I lost my mum 6 yrs ago and I tend to dream of whatever story I’ve listened to before so to think of her in a soothing way would hopefully bring about a lovely dream of her. Thank you for your wonderful service to our sleep

[@1234-p8q]

I can see you still miss your mom so much. Sorry for your loss. May Jesus be with you.

Hey Stephen and your family. I so dearly appreciate this story. I have had a career that this is so heartwarming true for people. I'm in somewhat the same area or type of work currently where 2nd chances are seldom seen for animals and people. Rebecca, you are awesome as well. I so appreciate the work and emotions/feelings you have for your stories. You made my day so much bigger and brighter. Henry also says thank you with hugs and and kisses to Timmy.

You've gained me,a new subscriber today. Thank you for bringing back once again the soft and tender part of my heart and soul which I was determined to erase and move on. I seemed to have forgotten life is meant to be beautiful and also,not the least, meaningful. ❤

[@amaliagrassi6870]

What a heartwarming and actually quite relatable story. I saw a lot of my own father in the old man and I also see a lot of me in him. There is a lesson in this story for me, to ensure that no matter what, one lives their life to the fullest possible. It makes me quite sad but also encourages me. Thank you Stephen as always.

[@catherineochia9996]

Thank you, Stephen, for such a beautiful, touching story. I know it was intended to lull me to sleep. However, I loved it so much, I had to listen to the entire story! This is my favourite so far, because I am also a dog lover.

[@jamessherman7797]

As a cat lover, I’d be interested a cat story of some sort! I particularly like your stories with music and sound effects! Almost like a sleep story radio show. Thanks for all of your efforts!

Thank you so very, very much, Stephen!🙏 This is such a heart churning story... I am a big animal and nature lover. But the dogs have a very special place in my heart. I've said good bye to two precious souls who were my BEST friends ever! Therefore, this story makes me cry every time I listen to it... Yet, I just can't resist coming back and listening to it again. And I mean it; I am staying awake and fully concentrated on listening to it until the very last word is spoken! BLESS YOU!🙏❤

[@janetbrown9758]

Can really relate. I was beginning to loose my zest for life the my daughter sent pics of these 2 adorable boy fur babies and it was love at first sight. I got them and the joy and laughter and youthfulness they've brought back to me is amazing. 😊

[@michellerangi1104]

Ohhh I love this. I could feel the energy in my heart expand with love as it does with my Jack Russell on my lap. No love like it. Took me 5 goes and finally decided to listen in te afternoon as I was always asleep around the time Mr Ambrose goes to the store 😂. Thank you. I love this ❤

[@HopeGilliland-l2m]

I am on my fourth night of your bedtime stories. Which I must say is beginning to work so well that I'm asleep before I hear the ending of each story. It is hard to stop the thoughts of life, the loss of our son at 37 years old a granddaughter of 6, and a granddaughter of 6 months, leaves us with a deep deep void in life one we cannot seem to climb over. I ran across your story time by accident looking for something to help me sleep, but I don't think it was by accident I believe there was a mighty hand greater in that scrolling that night. Thank you for your heart felt stories I seem to wonder during the day how they all ended 😊. Thanks
