Dog Blessings: Poems, Prose, and Prayers Celebrating Our Relationship with Dogs

If you love dogs you will relate to a lot of what's going on in this book. I laughed, I cried..I hugged my dogs a little tighter. Great for the dog lover.

I've read nearly every June Cotner collection of blessings and prayers and, until now, found it difficult to choose a favorite. "Dog Blessings" wins the crown. Being a dog lover all of my life, "Dog Blessings" is an incredible journey. It took me back to warm puppies snuggling beside my neck and pillow; long walks around blocks where daily messages were gathered and answered at light poles, neighborhood rocks and trees; and the most difficult journeys to vets and final resting places. Tears of joy and tears of sorrow - a treasure of memories all can borrow.

Once again, June Cotner has put together another anthology of prayers, poems, and blessings for our beloved canine companions! I gave a copy to a friend to place in her store and it sold out in one day. Give this one any day of the year! It's a winner!

Some of June's selections are so poignant, I had strong emotions upon reading, however, in a completely rewarding way. I highly recommend the book for anyone who believes, like I do, that dogs have a spiritual side to them. Stephen Shultz

Touching, humorous and wise, DOG BLESSINGS will appeal to a wide range of folks from canine neophytes busy training their new pups to long time dog lovers. It is also the perfect read for those needing encouragement to take the leap involved in welcoming man's best friend into their lives and hearts for the first time. Thoroughly covering the span of years and emotions,chapters range from puppies to partings. The moving power of devotion and bond between man and dog is captured on every page.
