I expected a better book
I was excited to get the book, but disappointed in reading in. Her doggie seperation theory don't jibe with accounts I've studied and much of her 2 books are fictionalized

STEPPING UP
Sometimes we are called upon to step up and see the bigger
picture. The one that contains not just us, but those closest
to us. Whether it's our family, our circle of friends, or our
workmates, when we are assigned the task we need to shine.
But what if this request came in Heaven? Just when you
thought you could relax you find out the tests are just
beginning.

Susan Kelleher's first Spirit Dog book, Heroes in Heaven,
introduced us to Ivan, a spunky Australian Shepherd who
has just finished one of his lives and arrived in Heaven.
He learns that he's been there before and may leave and
come back again, but first he needs some hero training.

In this book Ivan has been chosen to lead others like himself,
newly arrived, and a bit confused, as to what happens next.
With Ivan at the helm, well most of the time anyway, we get
a behind the scenes look at not only his training but how he
helps the others prepare for their next lives.

Personally, I think this should be required reading. No, not
for your canine pal, for you. If we could only take the time to
sit down with our family, friends, or workmates and like Ivan's
group evaluate what values make us "whole" people, think
how much richer our time here on Earth could be.
