No one who has ever had a dog or cat can doubt the animal capacity for happiness....Like uninhibited human happiness, the pleasure is contagious, and pets serve as a conduit to joyful feelings.

By integrating the psychological and spiritual aspects of pet loss and the grieving process, she guides the listener through meditations designed to bring him or her to a place of balance, renewal, and growth.
