This book. Oh, this book. Took my heart. If you have ever loved a dog like they were sent from heaven above. If you are even having troublegetting over the loss of a beloved dog. Read this book. If only science and medicine would look into other ways to heal. Hire some dogs.Instead of always going straight to the drugs. I can't give this book as much stars as it deserves. I want to buy more books and spread themaround. Be prepared, you will cry. But they are good tears. Cleansing tears. Healing tears. I waited months for this book to be published.The best I can say. Like the song in Wicked. "Because I knew you, I have been changed for good."Editing this to say. I miss this book. I gave it to my adult granddaughter who constantly suffers from spells of depression beingbi-polar. She is a huge animal lover and advocate. She loved the book. Also, I want to add. We had a dog who seemed heaven sent.After our Westie died of bladder cancer, I said, no more dogs. But this stray 5 month old puppy was running back and forth on our dirt road in a thunder storm. I watched until I could not stand it. We put her on our front porch. Our uncle who was the head of our no killanimal shelter said to just give them a few weeks and foster her until they had an opening. We didn't want to keep her. So, we would just say to her, Here Girl, here girl. Well, weeks went by. My Uncle came by, took her down to his shelter, came home crying, said they still did not have enough room. My husband said, bring her in the house. She's ours now. So, she thought her name was"Girl" by now. And that is what we called her. Fast forward ten years. She died in my arms of a heart attack and respiratory failure. The Vet felt sure shehad lung cancer. We were devastated. But a pet psychic told us she was always near us and would return. One day, now dogless, we went to an adoption fair. This one dog, with a face like Girl just stared at me. Her eyes never left me. I knew. I just knew. We adopted her that day. We call her Bonnie. We happened to take Bonnie back to our old house and neighborhood. She had never seen it. Instantly she did something she had never done ever, she leaped into a patch of brush, straight up, like a goat, as a hound dog would to flush out doves. Only our dog Girl had ever done this. We went back to our home up North. Bonnie never did it again. so, you tell me. Dogs are angels in disguise. Photo of our Girl.
