In this thoughtful book, Allen and Linda Anderson walk you through the numbing pain and dreadful sense of loss that arise when a beloved animal dies. They offer solace to help you deal with grief, remember and honor key moments in the animal’s life, find comfort through groups and with professionals, and get past the depression. They also include exercises, affirmations, and meditations to use through the various stages of grief. The Andersons’ caring, practical advice covers all aspects of pet loss, offering guidance on: helping children grieve, honoring your religious beliefs, grieving for runaway pets, helping others know what to say or do to console you, planning an appropriate memorial ceremony or tribute. The book also explores the concept of after-death experiences of departed companion animals and relates many beautiful stories, including the Rainbow Bridge story, that reinforce the love and sense of peace that come from honoring the place animals hold in our lives.

A Dog's Beautiful Spirit The love and devotion you have toward man is a reflection of God's holy spirit. A dog's kindness and loyalty moves with God's beauty. The core of a dog's character is found in the courage to protect man in the face of danger. You expect little from man yet comfort him and are there in time of need. A dog's faithfulness is a friendship held together deep within the hearts of man. A dog continues to grow throughout his life giving his strength and hope and compassion to man. A dog is like an angel that walks with man on earth keeping him in step with God's light. The heart of a dog is his gift to mankind. A dog heart forgives all and emerges with a loving soul that is there to please and holds no grudges. The miracle of a dog's promise is the grace he gives to man through God's hand of humanity. Man is truly blessed when a dog's beautiful spirit has touched his life and heart.
