   It’s really just a forward to my own book Signals. A wonderful read but, let’s go one step beyond death. In the genre of Life after Lifer or Many Lives Many Masters, Signals has your resolution. Yet this book is a wonderfful warm up read.

   Prepare yourself for a collection of voyeuristic anecdotal accounts of the dying experience. This book is void of any commendable consequence. I may possibly not even offer it as a donation to a charitable organization. The book has been discreetly relegated to the trash bin beneath the putrifying garbage. There it will remain until next Tuesday, trash pickup day.

   This book is of fantastic value for those who are able to tackle the theme. What I wish to urge is a book for those who have lost a beloved pet and dread that they will never be reunited; that there is no life after death for animals. This is not right and is not biblical, either.

   The thought of reuniting with a beloved petthat has passed (or leaving one behind and knowing you will reunite) can be very comforting to those who sincerely ill.

   One book, The Soul of Your Pet, gives solid, credible evidence for animal afterlife; there are many recountings of those who have interacted with late pets; it will sends skeptics reeling. An example is of a vet who for the first time is called to a dairy farm to handle a sick horse; when she is through she advises the owners to remove the second horse from the paddock; they tell her they don’t have another horse; they question her to describe it and it matches the description of an ancient white horse that had died a few months previously and which had bonded in life with the living horse– hardly grief-induced as the owners don’t see it. (it does not take 4-6 weeks to receive it; that is just a disclaimer on the amazon site)

   Another book which is perfectly and compassionately written is Cold Noses at the Pearly Gates. It will place the reader expecting to reunite in Heaven with his or her beloved furry or feathered supporter.

   Lastly. aheartwarming book written for children that adults will like even more is For Every Dog an Angel. An angel comes to pup at birth and remains with it throughout its life; it becomes its bridge to the Other Side when it is time, sometimes crosses back over to stay, and eventually the “forever person” and his or her “forever dog” (or any “forever pet”) are joyfully reunited.

   We all know that interaction with pets can greatly increase the quality of life for those who are terminally ill and the thought that there need be no final goodbyes should result in happiness to so many.

   This book is terribly confused, leaping back and forth, repetitive in many details, laden with anecdotes really unrelated to the theme. It offers a few first-hand accounts on the fact of death in medical facility, which are detailed and revealing; but then it rambles on with less and less scientific backing, for instance, about why sometimes people feel tranquility in their last moments. There are tales that can fit in one page that stretch into chapters. The book becomes really dull after the first chapter
