Book Description
If you have a dog, cat or other pet -- say a beagle (a class of theirown), and ever think about heaven and life after death this book is foryou. It is about "hounds, heaven and the hereafter." Even if you donot accept all of the author's dogma (pardon the pun), if you are ananimal lover and ever wonder what your pet is thinking (or imaginewhat they would say to you if they could talk back in a human voice)you will identify with this book.The author takes plenty of liberty in presenting his beagle'spersona -- extra fanciful at times -- but stays with proof verses onmatters of scriptural claims regarding subjects of beginnings, the fallof man, salvation and redemption . . . and eschatology [the part oftheology concerned with death, judgment, and the final destiny of thesoul and of humankind . . . and in this case, animal kind or the animalkingdom.]But besides presenting the case for an on-going human-animalrelationship beyond this life, the book which may come across forsome as a Bible study, looks at real life issues albeit sometimes fromthe viewpoint of a dog with human like perception.This is a book about a lot of things -- but more than anythingelse it is a book about a Pilgrim, a "born again" believer in Christ whohappens to be a dog lover (me), believing that he and his dog (abeagle or beagle-mix named "Sadie") will spend eternity together in aplace called Heaven.In the mean time -- waiting and watching -- Sadie Sue Dog andLoving Master Don are nearly inseparable. When there is necessaryparting, both are accused of suffering "separation anxietydisorder" (SAD). They don't know if they like that word "disorder"but there is admission that the two are "happiest" spending timetogether -- playing, riding, fishing, hunting, boating -- and talkingabout the issues of life and life hereafter.There is seldom disagreement over such things as politics,religion or food choices.Most of the time Sadie Dog is chasing rabbits and treeingsquirrels, digging up moles or just digging. There is some disharmonyover the digging and Sadie's inner clock. There are holes all over theyard, and an hour before the sun comes up Sadie is sure that's whenMaster Don is supposed to be up. At that time [and at least one othertime during the night] Sadie comes barking. Count on it, at about2:30 a.m. she wants out -- to check the yard and take care ofbusiness, making sure some varmint hasn't taken over her territory.The day begins about 5:30. Beyond that, the routine is ever-changing.What follows here is the sharing of life's challenges . . . andconversations between the author and his dog about them. Sadieprovides some comic relief when the topic gets too serious.
