I read your interesting 10 chapters, and share the same sentiment. Dogs are like children, in this world, if they are lucky, they are born to belong to a family, and live with a sense of belonging all their life.  A dog's greatest fear is abandonment. A dog never grudges and never fail to cherish our affection. I hope you will continue writing. I think you will enjoy reading my true dogs' story as told by my cat that lived for 23 years - entitled The Cat That Lived Forever. In Singapore, we also face problems on housing homeless dogs; it is quite sad - dogs are such lovable animals.

Your book sounds like it will be very thought provoking and beautiful. In my heart of hearts I  believe that animals have souls. They have the spark of the creative life form which created us all. You only have to be open to your animal friends to understand the depth of their love for you. They do understand every word you say. With my animal friends, I only have 1 cat aGinger Tabby named Poco and 1 dog a gray Lab/Husky mix named Gretchen, but when I talk to then they answer. It's as if we have a mind connection. Some people would think that was crazy. But I'm sure you know of what I speak. Good luck with your book. I'll begin reading it as I have time. I have written a few animal stories here on webook if you care to read them. All of my poetry and stories are true.

Sincerely,
