reat for explaining the lost of a dog to a small child.

-Great for explaining the loss of a dog to a small child Front to back, this book is an amazing first way to introduce the difficulties of loosing the family dog. This can be such a helpful way to explain and show the progress to a confused child. The illustration is sweet and simple for the little ones, as well as helps the parents showwhat they are talking about without overwhelming their child. This is a great help for a time like this.

Amazing book for Children

-Amazing book for Children I was so happy I purchased this book for my granddaughter. We had just lost our Pittie Girl and she was heartbroken. I gave her the book and she finished it and was crying. She turned to me and asked ““Why did you make me read this?” I told her so she could understand the process of Reese’s death. She gave me a hug and said ““Thanks, I know now that she is over Rainbow Bridge and doesn’t hurt anymore. She’s a puppy all over again. But I still miss her every day.

Comforting book for children in the loss of thier pet.

-Comforting book for children in the loss of their pet When a child has a bond with their dog, or even a pet that has left them, they don’t understand how to process their emotions or the grieving that follow. This book helps them to understand, with the assistance of their parents, to know how to say goodbye and turn death into a positive perspective with the love that they shared, & as a remembrance of that loved one. SincereLy recommended.
