Letters to my soul dog.: Loving and raising your soul dog, allowing him to rest, and almost everything you feel after. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798307348291)

Have you loved a pet with everything you have? Have you raised a dog since they were a mere puppy, taught them everything, worked hard to give them the best life, watched them age before your eyes, and then had to make the inevitable decision to allow them to rest? Have you been knocked down by their loss and unable to get back up? Do you feel their absence at the very core of your being? Was your dog your soul dog? Where do you go from here?

Through Shalini's account of adopting, loving, and raising Kahlua you'll find ways to work through your loss. Shalini is someone whom friends and family know as the epitome of a dog parent. She adopted Kahlua, a little black lab-mix from a rural shelter in Georgia and raised him as her own. Kahlua and Shalini were avid dog rescue volunteers in the south. A few years later, Kahlua gained another parent. The duo moved to New York to join lives with Karan, Kahlua's newly rescued human Dad. The three have fostered several dogs and volunteered tirelessly for local rescues. If there is a place where dogs are placed on a pedestal and revered above all, it is their home. Kahlua was a beautiful, gentle, perfect dog who lived a lovely life. As age started to get the better of him, his parents had to make the difficult decision of letting him go. This book is an account of their heartbreak, intended to help other pet parents through this inevitable journey. It is filled with loving, warm, and funny stories about humans who love their pets unapologetically above all, grief and heartbreak, but also laughter, mischief, and survival.

If you're lost and alone in the wake of your pet's departure this book will help you find yourself, or at least find a way back to yourself. It will help you feel less alone in your loss. You'll meet other pet parents who have gone through this. You'll warm up to the characters and find semblances of yourself in them and their animals. You'll meet other pets that are no longer physically here and see signs of your pet within them. And hopefully, you'll find some peace and solace.
