5.0 out of 5 stars Helped my mom's grieving, 23 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Angel Pawprints: Reflections on the Loss of a Canine Companion (Paperback)
My 80 year old mom's dog died recently. She had Trinka a long time and was unconsolable. I did an internet search and found "Angel Pawprints" at Amazon; sent it to my mother the very day I talked with her. She wrote back, "I sat down with Rudyard Kipling, Lord Byron, Eugene O'Neil, and others that told me of their pain in losing their beloved pets and I cried for them. I told them of my pain in losing 'Trinka', and they cried for me. It felt like a blending of hearts that never healed, but it was a release of pain shared." What more can I say except thanks to the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful collection of love and tears., 20 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Angel Pawprints: Reflections on the Loss of a Canine Companion (Paperback)
This is a surprisingly powerful book. The author has carefully selected the best stories and poems written in the last 100 years about the loss of a pet, and coupled them with museum-quality vintage photographs. Expecting this to be just another attractive anthology, this veteran pet bereavement counselor was suddenly drawn back into a vivid personal re-experiencing of all those emotions encountered during bereavement for his own beloved pet. Of course, not all the selections are wonderful, but the overall effect of the book is overwhelming. Don't expect to be able to read it in one sitting. The tears and memories flooding back will prevent that, regardless of how long it has been since one's own loss. It is probably too powerful for most newly bereaved pet lovers - but very much worth owning and reading later, when some reasonable closure has been reached.

In addition to browsing the "In Memoriam" page on the APLB website, I sometimes visit pet cemeteries, and stroll around, reading the stones and memories. Here I get a strong sense of the passionate love and loss others have experienced. This always becomes a personal catharsis, allowing me to feel even more the mystery associated with death, graves and timeless love. And I always weep and pay personal tribute to all those dear souls - and my own beloved pet, as well. Then I leave, feeling enriched and close to my loved one, again. This book will provide others with the same experience, but in a completely different format. It recharges the reader's spiritual batteries with the love and tears and glow that come back from deep within - and that is always a precious experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars A poignant anthology on losing a beloved dog and healing., 1 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Angel Pawprints: Reflections on the Loss of a Canine Companion (Paperback)
Angel Pawprints is a poignant expression in anthology form of the special human/canine bond, helping us to heal after the loss of a beloved dog. Its journey from the past through wonderful vintage photos and timeless memorials up to the present Rainbow Bridge helps us realize we are not alone in our experience, that the pain of our loss transcends generations, no matter who or where we are. It is a beautiful book and a unique gift for oneself or for someone who has lost a beloved canine companion.
