Pets and the Afterlife

A few months ago I lost my precious Bengal, Ophelia. She was a week shy of being 18 1/2 years old. I knew her time was coming and did the best I could to make her final weeks comfortable. Her half-brother, Hamlet, crossed over four years prior to that when we lived in a different state. I know she missed him horribly and I hoped that they were reunited. Finding an answer to that was why I was drawn to this book. It not only answered my question but made me feel so much better about other pets I'd lost. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has lost a beloved fur baby, if for no other reason than to know what to look for when they come back as a spirit to visit or let you know they're okay. The author is a medium who specializes in pets, mostly dogs and cats. His visions include details that he could not have possibly have known, validating their accuracy. This book and the others in the series are a compilation of stories of connecting with pets that have crossed over that rainbow bridge. If you've ever owned and lost a beloved pet you need to read this book. It will bring you insights and comfort you may have sought for years.

Very interesting read. The book was in good shape, no rips or anything.

My Pomeranian passed away at the beginning of May, after 16 1/2 years together. She had been ill, but was doing better, and then one day, her health did a 180 from the night before. I had to make the most horrific decision a pet parent ever has to make. I cannot describe the pain, and emptiness that followed. I found myself doubting my choice, and questioning what she must have thought of me. Did she think I just gave up on her? Did she think I didn't love her enough, and that after all the love she showed me, my thanks was to have her life taken from her? I found myself starting to panic and question things I never really gave much thought to before; Will I really get to be with her again? How do we know they will be waiting for us? I was inconsolable, and I have never wailed the way I did in the week following her passing. Truth be told, I still have not gone one day without crying over her. The day after she died, my mom gave me Rob's name, and told me how a few of her friends had met him and experienced his gift. I immediately found this book, and downloaded it. It was very difficult to get through more than a few pages at a time, because I just couldn't control the tears. However, the further I got, the more comfort and peace I started to feel. I also found a podcast on his website, which was also extremely insightful and offered relief to all the questions that were plaguing me. He has a sincerity in his tone, and his writing sounds more like a friend explaining things to you, than just reading a random book. A month after my baby was set free (almost to the day), my mother suffered the same loss with her elderly dog. Like me, she values her animals and her bond with them over people, so I know she was experiencing the same soul-crushing agony that I was. My mom doesn't have digital books, so I immediately ordered the paperback and had it sent to her, as I know it will help bring some comfort. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who finds themselves in a whirlwind of questions and painful emotions. Thanks to this book, I was able to take solace in the fact that my questions, fears, doubts, and guilt, are shared by many pet parents. I don't know if I will ever feel certain that I made the right choice; there are always so many variables and what-if's, but I now know that I am not alone in those thoughts, and I have hope that she will sometimes be near, and that one day, I will have the joy of being reunited with her.

Great for a short term distraction

I found this book after recommendation from a Pet Loss FB Group. At this time, we were facing the hard decision to help our terminally ill cat cross the bridge. I was in utter dismay, agony, depression, and anxiety. To say I wanted to not be alive to make this decision is an understatement. I began reading, with my sweet boy next to me. I sobbed. The messages and stories are beautiful. On the front cover is Rob's dog, Buzz, who is an amazing dog in spirit. I spoke with a medium (not Rob) and she mentioned she heard the name BUZZ. I told her I was reading this book about Pets in the Afterlife. No one, not even my husband, knew I was reading. I was slightly embarassed of my horrible feelings and didn't want people to think I was "weird." I reached out to Rob letting him know Buzz reached out. Rob said Buzz comes to dying pets to help them cross and comes to console grieving owners. This book and the 2nd book changed my life and how I view life AND death forever. Since my cat's passing, I have been able to recognize signs from him. No...these are not coincidences and Rob assures us this from his books. I recommend enthusiastically the Pets in the Afterlife books for any grieving pet owner. It will change your life...and I am "fur"ever grateful for these "paw" some experiences.

Poorly written, repititious, grammatical errors, in need of an editor. At times his examples seemed far fetched such as dogs who have passed leaving pennies or butterflies. I had hoped for more of the spirit life and less of dog behavior as one reviewer has also pointed out. I find I am skimming parts. I very recently lost my beloved dog and bought the book looking for answers which I haven't found.

This is a wonderful book for those who are grieving the loss of a pet, especially for those who had to make the decision to end their furry friend's life through humane euthanasia. I just purchased this book this past Friday, and I couldn't put it down. I had it finished by the next day. I lost a cat that was very special to me this past February, and have been having a hard time dealing with her loss. This book has brought me endless amounts of comfort, as I am now certain that I had made the correct excision, and that my sweet little kitty is at peace. I would recommend this book to anyone who is questioning their decision or who is simply having a difficult time dealing with a loss of a pet. Rob Gutro is very talented and will give you insight into seeing signs that you may have missed that your beloved pet is whole again and at peace. I now look forward to reading his other books as well. I hope that this book brings as much comfort to others as it has to me.

I had heard Rob Gutro on a few podcasts and was interested to know more. I have always loved animals and this book helped validate the feelings and experiences I had encountered with my pets past and present. Rob Gutro has shared a beautiful personal story that had tears welling up in my eyes and will resonate with those of us who have always known that all animals have souls.

Af ther losing my pup that was by my side for almost 14 years, it’s a devastating loss and the book as very comforting. Brought me a lot of new knowledge about the spiritual life of pets and that allowed me to be a little more peaceful in having my dog part physically but really knowing she will be with me forever. I appreciate Rob Gutro gift and his kindness/ understanding as we go thru such a difficult time.

I recently lost my pet. I have been in grief and this book helped me understand and reassure the lesson I came to learn with my deceased dog: that it doesn’t matter what I have or havent done, the love my dog and I have shared is endless. Thanks Rob for giving us some comfort.

A wonderful look into the beautiful transition of our beloved pets. I personally had just lost my darling furbaby, and had contacted Rob, who emailed me personally straight away, a wonderful guy, a fantastic author , and a superb medium, both he and his book brought me so much comfort i cannot say, I still find myself picking up this book when feeling very low at times and always find a passage and answer in this book, PLEASE , make this an absolute read and purchase, especially if you are going thru the loss of a beloved pet you will not regret it I promise. Cannot praise this edition enough. Thankyou Rob. xxxx

光や音の波長の部分も、否定できない記述であり、説得力があります。気象予報もする著者のようですので、理論性も結構高かったです。
