Spirit Dogs: Life Between Lives

The engrossing Spirit Dogs: Life Between Lives (Owl of Athene; 2005) by Susan Kelleher is a thought-provoking story about canine afterlife, related through the experiences of Ivan, a Border Collie, and his four heavenly canine companions. Having recently passed to the other side, the dogs help each other analyze and understand the purpose of their past lives in order to get to the true essence of the canine spirit. Thus prepared, they choose the dog they will incarnate to, continuing their evolvement to “wholeness.” All together, a very interesting reflection on the canine spirit and the afterlife, and one that will likely be a comfort to anyone who has lost a dog.
