Thanks! Helped a lot of family through a tough time as we lost our dear friend and family member Joe after 16 years! My kids (now grown) found solace in this great book from years back that helped them as kids to cope with the loss of our other Dog friends, and now with the loss of 'lil Joe. My wife and I found our own peace through the words in this book as we know he crossed the Rainbow Bridge and is ...in Dog Heaven!

    comforting and easy read for children.

    My granddaughter is five years old and after 16 years she lost her little Yorky Pooh. It is very sad for the whole family but I believe this book comforted her a little. I’m sure she enjoyed it and her mom and dad were pleased that I sent it to her. Thank you very much

    Dog Heaven

    This book was recommended by an APHE member and I just lost my baby so I purchased it. I was shocked to read God feeding ham sandwiches to the dogs. Don't all animals become living beings in heaven or is God slaughtering pigs? I know there are kids bright enough to question this as I teach gifted. This us the reason for my okay ranking.

  • Great gift for families who have lost a dog.

    This is one of my favorite kid books of all time, but it also speaks to adults. I give this as a gift to everyone who's dog has just passed away. That can be such a difficult time for a family and there are some really sweet thoughts in the book about what it is like to be in Dog heaven and all the wonderful things that happen there. It says that sometimes the dogs come down from heaven to check on their owners and make sure that everything is ok and may even follow behind the kids to school. Then, they go back up when they know everything is ok. I also love the part that God has a sense of humor and makes dog biscuits in the shape of squirrels and mailmen. You really have to read it to get a sense of the caring and sweet tone of the book. It's so sweet that you'll actually get ...

  • Out of Print, but NOT out of Sincerity

    I found this book years ago in the kids section of a bookstore. Basically it’s a kids-eye view of what heaven is for a dog, but I found it so touching that it is my #1 gift for friends who are grieving the loss of their dog. This particular book, purchased on EBay, was advertised as used, but it was like new, and much cheaper than I could find anywhere else. It was a great purchase.
