Don't miss this diamond within and don't be mislead by the reading level (Ages 4-8). This is a powerful book which gives the breaking heart permission to get another dog, love another dog, and form relationships with another dog yet still maintain the respect, integrity, and love for the beloved deceased dog. The book reassures the grieving owner that it is alright--nay, the deceased dog wants and encourages the owner left behind to heal, go on with life, and love again. The book assures the owner that the deceased dog is *ALWAYS* there in spirit and will be waiting for the owner at Rainbow Bridge. Oh yes, have some tissue at hand . . .

If you feel that you're alone and that nobody knows how you feel or have possibly been in the same situation... Read this book. As you read, you will feel the healing power of those who have been there.

If you have recently lost a beloved pet and are grieving, don't miss reading this book. You will find understanding among other animals lovers who have experienced the same type of feelings that you are experiencing. It is truly comforting to know that other people love their pets just as you loved yours. A great gift for anyone who has lost their pet.

I contributed the story about "Holly". She was my 15 year old poodle who saw me through the death of my father when I was eight, my teen years and becoming an adult. She died right after my 22nd birthday. Writing my memories of Holly was very theraputic for me. Since then I have lost another beloved pet (Chelsea, a seven year old Himalayan cat) and the stories in this book helped me through my grief. My advice to all pet owners is have this book bought and on a shelf BEFORE the lost of your four-legged friends. The book will be there waiting for you when you need it.

I loved this book. After the death of my best friend of ten years (my dog, Hardy), it made me realise that I wasn't the only one out there.
