Helen Weaver writes in a wonderfully clear, personal, and engaging style. The story flows smoothly from beginning to end, and the book is impossible to put down. We pet owners usually think we understand what our animals are trying to say. This book lets us know that we can deepen that understanding, and learn to communicate better with all the animals that share our planet with us. This book would be a great gift for an animal lover or anyone interested in the extraordinary powers of the human mind and spirit.

The Daisy Sutra: Conversations With My Dog is an incredible story of communication between human and animal. Author Helen Weaver, who agonized over the failing health of her beloved pet, was torn between the options of euthanasia and hope for quality of life when she called an animal communicator. Yet what she learned changed her life, as she began to understand and truly empathize with the perceptions of her faithful companion. A "must" for dog lovers, The Daisy Sutra is a heartwarming and fascinating glimpse into the mind of the creatures whose loyalty we so often take for granted.

You will not be the same after reading this beautiful story about Helen and Daisy. It touches your heart and soul. It's about the challenges of life, and the changes we face. The story raises questions that we don't always have the answer to. The story is real as are the emotions. Daisys too! Daisy communicates with Helen through animal communicators. It opens a different world for her,for both of them. I lost my dog Damion last year, and it's still hard not to see him everyday. He was a fourteen year old blue doberman, he watched me grow up, and I watched him grow old. Helen's story reminds you that loved ones-human or animal, never leave your heart, and their spirit is by your side-forever. The Daisy Sutra made me smile, laugh and cry. It will open your eyes to something we already know-animals communicate with us everyday, even when there are no longer physically with us.

The Daisy Sutra is an extraordinary book. Five stars seem paltry. I would give five constellations. This is the rare book that speaks to the heart, the soul, and the mind without ever being heavy-handed. It is a fast read, almost impossible to put down (except to reach for a handkerchief.) Here is a remarkable real life story told deftly with great humor and compassion. Again and again, we see that in the smallest details in life there are glories. Helen Weaver and Daisy have generously given the reader the extradinary opportunity to share their journey. We come to know the courage and spirit of these *two remarkable beings*. One warning ... should you take this journey your life may never be the same again.

With poignant honesty and graceful prose, Helen Weaver tells a tale that to some is a most familiar one of connection, communication and love. For some readers, The Daisy Sutra will be an opening to what is possible between human and animal, an opening to new depths in relationship. For all who love animals and understand the magic they can bring to our lives, The Daisy Sutra is a gem not to be missed.

Conversations with a dog? With a dead dog? When I first heard about this,I was more than skeptical. I was downright cynical. In the self-proclaimed New Age there has been a spate of books claiming to be channeled from higher entities. Of the ones that I have looked through there is an air of unreality and, more often than not, an absence of literacy. It is as if the entities, high as they might be, did not know how to communicate effectively.

I received The Daisy Sutra: Conversations with my Dog as a birthday present. I did not know when I would read it,
having a full literary plate. But presents are a tricky thing. They must,at least, be acknowledged. And so one evening, I pulled my copy of The Daisy Sutra into bed with me and decided to read a page or two. Or three. Or four. I couldn't think about putting it down. I was too busy reading. I finished it that night with a hunger for more, a disappointment that it had ended, and a feeling that something had changed inside of me.

There are books that change your life. There are books that touch a truth inside of you that you were not aware was there. There are books that alter your vision of the sentient world. Helen Weaver's The Daisy Sutra is such a book. I no longer see animals the way I once did. Oh, I still squash ants, especially if they are racing to or from my food. Some things never change. However, I experience animals differently, even insects. Even spiders. I feel more related to all living creatures as a result of this warm and honest book.

There is no animal rights preaching here, no righteous raising of a banner. The Daisy Sutra does not grind any ax. Its spirituality is rooted in its authenticity. It is a feast for the soul.

It is so easy to doubt the power of something that generally goes unacknowledged. Helen Weaver's message reassures those who are lonely in their caring, those who have been ignored because their experience is seen through a scientific lens that filters love from the equation. Weaver has managed to bring about a balance. Love is the field against which all else exists. She has managed to express her passion without judgment. She has "walked her talk." This book is an inspiration and a delight.

The Daisy Sutra suprised me in its exploration of human-dog relations. I was touched by the humor, pathos and finally metaphysical reach of this little gem. I have bought 5 for gifts. Deep, rich, rewarding read.

The Daisy Sutra is an enchanting and must-read book for any animal lover. Whether you believe in animal communication or not this book will give you "paws" for thought!

This book brought tears to my eyes, as I empathized with Ms. Weaver and her dog Daisy. Anyone who has loved a pet as one of the family should read this book.
