Do you love dogs and nature? Would you like to understand the soul energy of dogs on a conscious and higher soul level? Would you like to know what happens to dogs following their life on earth? Have you lost a special furry friend and found the grief immeasurable? Have you wondered how you will cope when your furry friend dies? Would you like to have an ongoing connection with your dog following his death? Would you like to improve your communication with your dog? The answers to these questions and more can be found in The Soul of a Dog. Dr. Nicol Louise and her canine co-author, Cinda the curly-coated retriever, offer guidance that allows dog lovers to really explore what’s going on in the world - as their dogs see it. Cinda shares her dog's-eye view to give readers a rare glimpse into the personalities of dogs, why dogs continue to visit earth and support their human neighbours, and why dogs have a limited level of free will in comparison to humans. This handbook offers practical guidance on working through issues of grief and loss. Death does not mean disconnection from love, and impermanence is a transition from a physical being to a timeless and limitless energetic being.
