All dogs go to heaven
Beth Brown, Carl Cobbledick (Illustrator)
This is the story of twelve little dogs--and their numerous friends--who come to life in a dog cemetery. It's the story of Hobo and his mistress--who between them make a miracle--and tell you how to make a miracle in your life. It's the story of Gwendolyn, the vamp, who maneuvered a wedding for herself--in a cemetery of all places! It's the story of Old Buck and the house on the hill that was built with dreams for bricks. It's the story of Young Buck, who lost his life at Pearl Harbor only to find it again in the here of hereafter. It's the story of Tramp, the booze hound who reformed. It's the story of any dog who's ever lived and of any dog who's ever died--for everyone who's ever had a dog--and for those who never had a dog. All Dogs Go to Heaven is dramatic, patriotic, gay, mystical, wistful, tender and revealing. The dogs you meet here at the cemetery live a life more real and more thrilling than any life on earth. Its astounding yet solid philosophy will help and sustain you. Ever hear a dog speak? These do. They speak to say that there is no death. There is only life in another form. That dog you lost--is not really lost. They never are. They are always with you--wherever they are--wherever you are.--page 2 of jacket
