Send it home with a family after euthanasia, or mail it with your sympathy card. It's remembered long after the visit.

The inspiration behind the story

Written after losing a dog. Finished after losing Gammie.

This book was inspired by a loving dog, a Gammie gone too soon, and a toddler with a million questions about heaven. The story was written after losing a sweet dog, but the book was fully created after losing a beloved grandmother, and needing to answer a four-year-old's questions about death.

While the theme is dogs, we hope this story about heaven can be a tool for families working through any loss. Dogs are most certainly the best messengers for a heavy-hearted topic.

What readers say

"This book is a treasure."

★★★★★

An absolutely wonderful book that will touch the heart of anyone who has ever loved a dog. Written with love, this book will make you laugh and cry… but the tears will be of joy, not grief. You will embrace the joy of loving a dog. You will celebrate the honor and privilege of having shared the most precious moments of life with your beloved best friend. It is no wonder that 'dog' spelled backwards is God. Thank you, Lisa Stewart, for the comfort you have brought to many with the gift of your beautiful words. Love the illustrations, too! This book is a treasure.

Such a sweet book, a tear jerker. From all of the pictures of different dogs to the beautiful message it sends. This book is great for trying to help your little ones with grieving and may even help the parents too!

This is a thoughtfully composed book on pet loss that offers levity and hope. We loved sharing this book as a family!

Kristen M. Leonard
★★★★★

This book is beautiful! Excellent for helping children (or adults!) work through loss, which is one of the hardest things to overcome in the human experience. I also love that the perspective is from the dogs' point of view. Lisa did a great job of keeping the book light-spirited and not heavy, but don't be surprised if you have tears in your eyes while reading. Highly recommend.

★★★★★

This book will warm the heart of anyone with an imagination as beautiful as the art within, especially those who believe in God and a heaven for dogs. It's very comforting for readers young and old alike.

Toby Z.
★★★★★

The story carries a clear yet impactful message: the bond between a dog and its owner endures forever. Portraying dogs in heaven, waiting for reunion with their humans, playing among the clouds, and being reminded of their goodness creates a touching image that can lift a heavy heart.
