Whether you are 5 or 75 years old, this book will touch your heart and teach you that life is a precious gift.

“This book helped my 6 year-old, Trev and me deal with the loss of our companion and friend—our 3 year-old brown Cocker Spaniel, Hershey. It helped Trev realize that life is precious...By letting Trev see pictures and hear other stories it made him feel like he wasn’t alone. I felt it helped my son heal and bring closure to a tough situation...to realize he made it through and could say, ‘I’m OK.’” Lynn Muth

“It’s so difficult for children to deal with the death of a pet and for their parents to help them work through their feelings about it. This book is a wonderful resource!” Leslie Krauz Stambaugh
