In Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant's classic bestseller, the author comforts readers young and old who have lost a dog. Recommended highly by pet lovers around the world, Dog Heaven not only comforts but also brings a tear to anyone who is devoted to a pet. From expansive fields where dogs can run and run to delicious biscuits no dog can resist, Rylant paints a warm and affectionate picture of the ideal place God would, of course, create for man's best friend. The first picture book illustrated by the author, Dog Heaven is enhanced by Rylant's bright, bold paintings that perfectly capture an afterlife sure to bring solace to anyone who is grieving.

Lisa Combs, September 25, 2010 (view all comments by Lisa Combs)
Our pet family members nest in our hearts for years entertaining us, consoling us, loving us, giving us all they have. When a pet dies, we are devastated as much as when our human family members pass. I remember when my Long Haired Dachshund died while I was away to college, it took a long time to get Mom to breathe and explain why she was sobbing on the phone. My mom was not a crier, I knew it was something awful. I wish she had had Dog Heaven by Rylant. When I lost my adorable Lhasa of 16 years, friends rallied knowing I would be a basket case. My sister sent me this book with a photo of me with my nephew and my Lhasa. He always thought it was his dog and he just lived far away with me. Rylant's book has given me solace, peace and hope. I have gifted it to others at the time of loss. This is not only a great book, it is heart mending when our heart is broken (beyond repair). It helps the knitting of healing to begin allowing the fond memories to surface again. For this, Cynthia Rylant is a hero. She has the Cat Heaven, also. Follow the paw prints of your heart, gift these books. It is what your pup would do if he could.
