Up-Lifting and Thought-Provoking (See "Hope" - Page 50!)
A wonderful experience!Immediately after finishing the book I got five more copies to send to my dearest friends and family. In this slim volume the author begins with a discussion of the impact that losing a pet can have on its devoted owner; she illustrates this with annecdotes to which I felt an immediate connection.She goes on to provide an historical perspective on the development of the human/animal relationshop, and follows that with a facinating examination of the evolution of several major world religions and schools of thought.She finishes with practical and comforting suggestions to help the reader both work through the grief that losing an "animal companion" induces, and look forward to a hopeful future where in the next life we are reunited with our precious pets.The section entitled "Hope" beginning on page 50 was so joyfully vivid - read this first and you'll be instantly hooked! Her gentle pace and comforting, practical, thought-provoking delivery makes this an easy read.I'd love to see a follow-up book with a more in-depth discussion on the development of different religions tenets with respect to animals.

An Excellent Book for Anyone Grieving the Loss of a Pet!
In this wonderful book, the author offers comfort and reassurance that painful feelings of grief are normal and natural, and that the close relationship we share with our beloved pets can be as important as those we have with humans.The possibility of an afterlife for animals is considered, with many examples from historical and spiritual literature.And, although the author encourages readers to decide for themselves what to believe, one can truly imagine that we may indeed one day enjoy a "Sweet Reunion" with our beloved pets.Also, her suggestion that perhaps both animals and humans may each be intended to support the growth and progress of the other in this life presents an expanded view of hope and greater purpose in the relationship we share with our pets (and animals in general).Finally, this book is very enjoyable to read, comforting and inspiring, and would be a thoughtful and caring gift for anyone grieving the loss of a pet. ...

Kinship with others
Most people around me seem to be more polite than understanding when I talk about losing my dog, Lincoln.It doesn't matter anymore after reading this book.They don't understand the depth of our relationship, but the writers in this book do.I wish I had someone in person who knew, but going back to this book every once in a while gets me through.This book will be my rock as long as I need it.

Not Alone Anymore
Finally I don't feel so weird about my feelings toward my rabbit.People made fun of me, but now I know I am ok and I will be able to get through this.Thank you.

Not for me
I appreciate the other reviews I read and am glad these people found this book to their needs - but I did not.I just don't see how hearing about someone else's losses helps me - I am already bogged down in my own pain.Anyway - that's all I wanted to say. ... Read more

Wonderful comfort
We lost our wonderful dog, Jasmine, just a few weeks ago.I've always believed that God created animals with the intention that they be eternal creatures, but "Will I See Fido in Heaven" conveniently listed the scriptures to prove it.
Writtten with Biblical detail and a heartfelt yearning for the truth
Fantastic! She supported the question of whether animals go to Heaven using Biblical quotes and passages. Since the Bible is my resource for Life and God's true Word, i found such consolation -that since He breathed life into all man and animal, all life awaits Man's Salvation to enter Heaven. Since animals dont have original sin like man, they enter Heaven regardless, whereas mans only way to enter Heaven is by receiving Christ as our Lord and Savior and following the Word of the Bible.

Excellent Book
I know Mary Buddemeye-Porter personally and I have always been impressed about her warm personality to people and pets alike. While I am not a Christian, it was very comforting to me that I will indeed meet my loving departed pets in heaven, if I make it there.... ... Read more

a dog lovers must
It has been over 4 years since I lost my dog. I bought this book for myself about 2 years ago. I love it, I still read it and refer to it. I am now buying it for a friend who just lost her beloved dog. It is great. Every vet should be made to read this book before they graduate. ... Read more
