Product Description
Do all dogs and cats really go to heaven? Yes, they do!
The death of your beloved pet can be one of the most heartbreaking losses you-ll ever endure. But recovery isn-t only about closure. You also want to know where your best friend has gone.
After the intense, unexpected grief he experienced following the loss of his own companions, animal lover and biblical scholar Gary Kurz set out to prove that there are indeed pets in Paradise. After devoting countless hours of research, he now shares his inspiring insights to bring you a richer understanding of animals and their souls. You-ll finally find answers to common questions about animals and the afterlife-and you-ll also get a 30-day devotional to help you work through your grief.
If you-ve ever loved and lost a pet, or if you know someone who has shared a special bond with a furry face and a cold, wet nose, you-ll welcome this amazing book-s reassurance that love and loyalty are truly eternal, and that someday, you and your pets will be together again.

 Comfort During A Difficult Time June 3, 2009
Nancy L. Breadmore (Lawrence, MA USA)
When we lost our 11 yr old boxer, Zeus, I was devastated and had a very difficult time coping. This book convinced me that I will see Zeus (at the rainbow bridge) in heaven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Exactly what I needed to begin healing.
My favorite part of the book is the 30 day devotional in the back. April 25, 2009

I recently lost my puppy (My six year old puppy) who was such a huge part of our family. He went everywhere he was allowed with us, and even a few places he wasn't allowed :) We loved him so much and the loss was and continues to be devistating for my family and me. He was hit by a hit and run driver. He wasn't a dog who ran around, or ran the roads. He stayed close by and was rarely out without us, but for a few minutes here and there. That night was a few minutes, literally, too many. We think he saw a rabbit and charged after it as we found rabbit poop by the bushes where we found him.
I haven't read this whole book yet. There are parts that are a little slow going for me,like there's too much explanation about why the author chose a topic or why he's not going to go too far into a topic. However, it's still good. The writer's decision to write the book was based on his own sudden loss.
I chose to give the book five stars based largely on the 30 day devotional in the back of the book. I found that to be so helpful and healing. I was so mad at God and questioning so much when I lost my best friend. I couldn't understand why such a tragic thing could happen to such a beautiful and loving dog. This book helped me work through some of those feelings. I'm still struggling with those things, crying now as I type this, but it continues to help. There were certain devotions that continue to help me each day. I developed a little prayer that I say daily that came from these 30 days, along with some other things such as when the author writes that it's not a passing away, but a passing on to another life. Things like that.
So, if for no other reason I think this book is well worth it for the 30 day devotional. I did dicipline myself to one a day, spreading it out gives you a chance to reflect on each days writings. I think it also allows your heart the healing time it really needs.
My heart goes to any of you who are going through a similar loss. It is one of the hardest things I have ever gone through.

Do Jewish dogs go to heaven? How about Muslim cats? Hindu tarantulas? Mosquitoes? E. coli? Maybe the pope knows the answer.
 Good Book March 4, 2009

I have not finished the book yet, but what I have read is very appealing to me. I feel that it is useful for what I was looking for in the book.
