Before reading this book, I had conducted a lot of research in the Bible and in the Greek and Hebrew word study tools. I had a basic outline of my belief, then read four books on the subject. By far, this one had the most scripture, covered the most bases/questions/issues and confirmed what I believed from my scriptural review. But, the author added much more from resources I do not have. Not only is the book a comfort, but it doesn't give the reader a pie-in-the sky analysis. It is scriptually sound; so you can be assured of eternal life for animals/pets -- because God gives us enough to know -- not just because one wants to believe.

This book will get you through the tough days. I have bought many copies of this book to pass around to friends who have had to deal with the death of a pet, and now it is my turn. I had to make the tough decision to have my buddy, Bandit, put down a few weeks ago. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. This book is what I pick up every night before I go to bed. I read a few pages, and then the peace floods my heart. I hope it will do the same for you.

I lost my little dog, Chipper, almost two weeks ago now. As pet owners can attest, pets are the most wonderful companions, friends, and comforters. Little Chipper was all that and more. I always told him that I knew he was a little angel. When he passed I was/am devastated. In fact, I was holding him when he took his last breathe. He was at home and quietly slipped away in my arms (no vet). After he passed I was inconsolable until I read this book. Not only did the book provide good answers that were a comfort, but it brought to point how all of God's creatures are precious and I now even look at the pesky squirrels in my yard in a different light.

I have given this book to several people who have lost their pets. It is a wonderful book that gives scriptural evidence that Christians will see their pets in heaven. It's a very comforting book for pet owners.

This book is a God send to anyone who's lost a beloved, member-of-the-family pet. Using the scriptures, Mary Buddemeyer-Porter explains the significance of God's lesser creatures in the Plan of Salvation. Wonderful to know that they just won't be banished into oblivion; moreover, we'll see our pets again!

I've been a Christian for many years. I don't ever recall hearing a sermon on this subject. I am grateful to Ms. Buddemeyer-Porter for showing me that God has included my pets in his plans. I was skeptical at first, but I kept my Bible with me while reading her book, and I checked up on her use of the scriptures to back what she said. I was pleasantly surprised and blessed to see that the answers were always in the Word, and that I had just not noticed them before. This is an exceptionally inspirational book!
