Pets' Letters To God

Pets' Letters to God is an engaging, lavishly illustrated collection of the questions, complaints, and praises pets send to the Almightly.

In nearly 100 letters pets comment and wonder about everything from food to mailmen, from dog shows to salvation. With the charming wit of the bestselling French for Cats and the endearing optimism of Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul, Pets' Letters to God transcends the usual, embracing the idea that pets have an intelligence that, though different, is no less than ours.

I have 3 copies of this book at home now and have given at least 7 books to friends, vets, my hairdresser, and family. It is a DELIGHTFUL little addition in a gift basket for someone you know that has a dog, cat, bird, fish, hampster; (you get the idea...)

Examples of Bricklins' humor, which are included:

" Dear God,
Is thunder absolutely necessary?"
McGwire Dog

"Dear God,
How do I get rid of dog breath?"
Delilah Dog

"Dear God,
Are humans on uppers or are we on tranquilers?"
Buddy Box Turtle

"Dear God,
Please Pass this message along to my so-called master:
Why are you trying to teach me to roll over and play dead? Do you find that funny? Funny how?"
Joe Dog

These are just a FEW of the terrific messages to God from a vast menagerie of pets. Most are just really funny, but a few are rather touching.

You cannot go wrong with this book. It is great to bring cheer to anyone's day!

PETS' LETTERS TO GOD has over sixty-five letters from dogs, birds, cats and various other animals asking God the tough questions.

For instance, Butch the Boxer asks, "Dear God, If a dog barks his head off in the forest, and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?"

Another dog named Max asks, " Dear God, Are there dogs on other planets, or are we alone? I have been howling at the moon and stars for a long time, but all I ever hear back is the beagle across the street!"

Roddy, who I think is a hamster asks God, " Is it a sin to escape from your cage?"

This is a great gift for anyone who loves their pet or for a pet to gift to a favorite friend. In fact, I learned about this book because Abigail, a beautiful Bichon, recently gave this book to her dear friend who sometimes takes care of her.
