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.

 cold noses at the pearly gates November 7, 2009
Lynn Thompson (Ventura County CA)
I picked three possibilities by putting them on my wish list. After reading a sample, checking appropriate age level etc. I chose "will I see Fido in Heaven.
This book fit my qualifications but I felt the one I picked was best for my Grandson's age.
Grieving over a cat. October 4, 2009
Bonnie (jacksonville, fl, usa)
This book was reccommended to me when I had to put my 19 year old cat to sleep due to cancer. Although I didn't agree with all of the author's interpretations of the Bible in general, I did find his research relevant to animals in Heaven very comforting. I got the book from the Library and read it before I bought it and the main reason I bought was because of the 30 days of meditations at the end. I really wanted to have my own copy and am very glad I bought it. I received it in good condition and promptly.
 Balm for my wounded heart September 12, 2009
Anya Wolfe (Grand Rapids, MI)
I lost my best friend, when my dog suddenly had to be given back to heaven. This book was so comforting and healing for me at that time. I recommend this book to anyone who has lost their animal friend recently. The day by day readings in the back really spoke to me each day about what I was feeling. It is very christian based, with quotes given from the Bible. For me that was very comforting. I loved this book and highly suggest it for anyone who needs it.
 Offers little unless you are a strict fundamentalist or just want lots of cute animal stories. August 11, 2009

I just finished "cold noses at the pearly gates" and find myself disappointed. As a life-long Presbyterian Christian veterinarian, I am frequently asked about pet afterlife as a pet owner struggles with the loss of a beloved pet. I had hoped to find some solid, definitive, Biblical answers to offer bereaved pet owners. Instead, I mostly found this book to be a platform for ad-nauseum rehashing the strict, fundamentalist Creationist viewpoint interspersed with lots of cute animal stories. Oh yes, there were some references to scripture scattered throughout the middle of the book. I, like the author, am a Creationist defined by most Christian writers as one who believes that the universe and all that is in it was 100% created by a just, all-powerful, loving Father God. Howevere, I found that the author mistakenly mislabels "naturalistic" worldview as "evolution". "Evolution" is NOT a worldview. "Naturalism" worldview is the Christian enemy, not "evolution" For an excellent overview of the differences between "naturalism" and "evolution", one should read Coulson's "How Shall We Live?".

I bought this book along with "Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet" by Gary Kowalski after my 13-year-old English Setter died. It was extremely helpful in my dealing with the loss... Much more so than the other book. I even emailed the author and got a reply back very quickly! Overall, I thought it was good enough to hold onto for the future(I have more dogs), whereas I donated the book by Gary Kowalski to my local library. I figured maybe the other book could help someone else out, instead.
