Having been lucky enough to spend years close at her spiritual teacher's side, Ms. Hart is suddenly and unceremoniously dismissed with the enigmatic instructions to, "Follow your dog to God!" How many of us would have had the faith and devotion necessary to take these words to heart and truly look into the face of a shaggy haired dog to find answers? What lingers in my heart from this book is the dog Pearlie - a living embodiment of what spiritual life is really like - to be who you are without apology, with all your limitations and faults and yet be filled with joy and love at each new day. Of particular interest to people who wish to explore the spiritual practice aspects of caring for animals.
