âMy dogs have been the reason I have woken up every single day of my life with a smile on my face. I am among the ranks of millions of people who appreciate the souls of dogs and know they are a gift of pure love and an example of all that is good.â âJennifer Skiff
The Divinity of Dogs is about the moments you learn something profound about life from an experience with a dog. Featuring more than seventy stories culled from hundreds of submissions to the authorâs website, these inspiring and heartwarming true stories show where love, tolerance, comfort, compassion, loyalty, joyfulness, and even death have provided experiences that have led to spiritual enlightenment.
Youâll meet Little Bit, the Chihuahua who detected a small lump in her ownerâs breast, a growth even doctors couldnât find. Thereâs Emma, the devoted Rottweiler who ferociously grabbed her ownerâs arm at the moment he was trying to commit suicide, saving his life. Youâll be inspired by Luna, the Retriever who dragged her owner to safety after she collapsed late at night in a field. And youâll fall in love with the many dogs who simply provide steady comfort when neededâ dogs like Bo, the Boxer who soothed his mistress after the loss of her son. The author also weaves her own experiences with dogs throughout the book, showing how they comforted her through mistreatment as a child, a divorce, and a cancer diagnosis.
The stories that make up The Divinity of Dogs provide hope, help, and healing for readers in the complex and difficult times in which we live. Whether you believe dogs are divine or are actually a gift from the divine, The Divinity of Dogs gives you permission to accept what you know: dogs are healers, educators, protectors, and tangible examples of pure love.
