Losing a beloved dog can be heartbreaking for a child—and knowing how to help them understand and cope with that loss can be just as difficult for the adults who love them.
Dogs in Heaven is a special keepsake and gentle, comforting children’s book about pet loss that helps young children process the death of a beloved dog through sweet rhymes, hopeful imagery, and the reassuring idea that their furry friend is happy, healthy, and loved in Heaven.
In the pages of Dogs in Heaven, children are invited to imagine a beautiful place where dogs can run again, play on endless green grass, enjoy all the yummy treats they want, and earn their angel wings. They may even picture their beloved pet playing among the clouds, stars, and rainbows—creating a comforting way to think about where their dog has gone.
This heartfelt dog grief book for kids gently reminds children that although they may no longer be able to see or hug their furry friend, the love they shared never disappears.
Dogs in Heaven can help families:
• Talk gently about the loss of a dog
• Help children understand pet death and grief
• Create a comforting picture of their dog happy and healthy again
• Encourage children to remember the special moments they shared
• Find comfort in Heaven, clouds, stars, rainbows, and the idea of the Rainbow Bridge
