Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-17 00:00:00 Justin Lyga The stories about the amazing feats and heroism of the pets in this book were amazing! I loved reading each and every one of them. But I think what I enjoyed the most was Sylvia's view that "all pets go to heaven". I've always shared her view, however, my religion does not. I remember my first encounter with this philosophy at thirteen when a nun stated in religion class that animals do not have souls. They just die and that's it. I was appalled by this and tried to philosophize with her by stating, if God made us with souls because He loved us, why wouldn't He do it for the animals He loves too? She in turn insisted she was right, but I persisted. I stated that animals are pure and perfect and do not sin. Our religion states that if you do not sin, you will go to heaven. If animals don't sin, they would (and should) go to heaven. Her response to me was that I would understand when I was older. Now that I am older, I understand that she was completely crazy. If you have ever been bothered by the dogma of your religion when it comes to your beloved pets, read this book! It's chock-filled with comfort that our pets truly lead another life after this one.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-10-13 00:00:00 Chuck Ivy Not my normal reading material (although I had a total guilty-pleasure fascination with watching Sylvia Browne on Montel when I was in college). My beloved rescue dog of eleven years recently passed away and I turned to this in the midst of my grief and sadness. It is a very sweet book, and it answered a lot of my questions regarding the spiritual side of our connection with animals. It also validated a lot of the emotions I had around my dog passing and made me feel not so alone. The writing style is engaging and easy to read. There was some redundancy in many of the themes present and some disorganization of structure. I would have liked to have heard more of Sylvia's voice and less regarding her client experiences (although those were helpful, just too many). But all in all a very comforting book.
