This book dispells the myth that all Muslims hate dogs. You will see that the kind hearted Muslim Sufis treated the dog with reverence as they revere all of God's creation.

i have read just about all of the author's works, although rarely putting revelations into practice. ummmm. well, one of my friends and i are avid dog lovers, so, when i saw this book, i got myself and my friend copies to read. the author finds within dogs many of the blessings and characterizations of Allah! he essentially sets up dogs to be heaven sent creatures, which, we dog lovers already knew that our dogs were gifts from god. the author writes in brief, usually stories of one paragraph, each one transmitting a message or learning for the reader. as always, sublime brilliance is found page after page. A+. this is fun and educational! it is highly recommended!

I love this book. As a muslim and a dog lover, I am often discouraged by our faith's misperceptions vis a vis dogs. This book sets it straight. Dogs are indeed in many ways the road to attainment of greater spirituality. I enjoyed reading the Sufi tales of dogs and their positive contributions to our lives. This book is well written, well translated and informative.
