Paw Prints In Heaven Hardcover Pet Memorial Children's Book from Dog Speak

I love that this book is a place where all memories of the pet can be kept. The story is very tender and most of my friends still cannot read it without sobbing, but I believe it's a healthy purging kind of cry. I love that there are many types of dogs in the pictures and so far I have been able to find each of the dogs that are mourned somewhere in the pictures. I encourage my friends to use the pages to write all the cute and quirky and wonderful things about their dog in the empty spaces given for this purpose so that the memories don't ever fade with time and photos can also be kept in the pages. It is easy to store or looks beautiful on display.

I still cry every time I read this book and I bought it nearly 2 years ago now. But it definitely helped my kids. We sat down as a family and filled out all the info on our pup and read it whenever the kids asked. My then 3 year old was able to process the loss and even be happy that her old dog wasn’t suffering anymore even though we all miss her very much.

The story is sweet although it does make Christian references to a Creator which I didn’t care for. It would have appealed to me more if it were nondenominational. I purchased it for my niece who just lost her dog to an illness but I will not be sending it. I guess I’ll just save it for a friend who is more religious.

This is such a sweet book. It is gentle and caring in its approach to a difficult subject. If you have little ones that have lost a treasured pet, this is the book to read to them.

It was exactly what I wanted

Great gift for my friend whose children are grieving for their deceased pup. It was really helpful!

Gave as a sympathy gift

Received a book like this from a friend when our precious Daisey crossed over the Rainbow Bridge 1-1/2 yrs ago. I ordered this for my sister whose doggie is 14 years old so It send to her when he crosses over. Such great way to keep memories of your beloved pet.
