"Do you ever talk to your dogs? I do." Psychologist Dr. Robert Pasick and his loving but aging dog Lucy invite us into conversations about living and dying. You know the common questions we humans ask: What breed of dog should I get for my family? What dog breeds are good with children? How do I cope after my beloved pet dies? We want real relationships with pets. You"ll love Rob"s Yellow Lab after reading this book, and you"ll also think about far bigger questions dogs raise like: "What Breed is God?" As Rob cares for his aging dog, that"s one chapter you"ll enjoy. Rob reminds us how pets transform our lives.
