Customer Review: Amazing Little Book!
Just yesterday, I had to put down my best friend of over 14 years. A very good friend of mine gave me a copy of this book that very morning, she knew how much this old dog meant to me. I read it and even though I cried like a baby, it left me with a good feeling. I recommend this book for adults even more than for kids... if you have ever or are about to lose your dog, it's warmth and simplicity make it very comforting and therapeutic. I took it with me to the vet's office, and before the deed was done, I laid down next to my old guy on the office floor and read it to him, and told him how one day we'd be together again. I think he understood. People can be transient, hypocritical, downright nasty and fleeting with their emotions and affections. The love of a dog for it's person, however, is possibly the purest, simplest and most honest love on this earth. Dogs are the kind of creatures that can make even the most skeptical believe in the existence of a higher power. Their love is absolutely unconditional and utterly faithful. God bless these beautiful, unique and wonderful animals... they abide...
Customer Review: Just what I needed
I lost my baby, Ruby, yesterday. My mom had gotten this book, and she gave it to me last night. I'm 30 years old and have to say the message of this book is perfect for any age, but I think it will especially speak to "grown-ups". The author says things that we are all hoping are true--like about our pet being happy now. I can't explain it, but Davis' figurative language spoke to my soul. Any reader can easily feel that she knows the pain each of us who have lost a pet are feeling. The book is small, uplifting, and made me feel a little better--which I thought was impossible. It also brought a tear to my eye, and I thank the author for putting words to what was in my heart. I also thank her for defining my love for Ruby--she was my "Forever Dog"--and giving me a special title to use for her that seems to give Ruby a place of honor in my life. This book has been a godsend.
