    A great gift

    This book makes a wonderful gift especially to someone who likes to read. I gave it to my daughter for her 16th birthday. Makes you enjoy the little things in life!

    DOG IS MY CO-PILOT

    For dog lovers, spiritually-awakened folks, or those that fall into both categories, this book is for you. Eckhart Tolle's words combine with Patrick McDonnell's illustrations and serve up a feel-good message. We love our domestic animals so much because they simply live in the moment and live life, just "being." Spiritually complex, yet simple in its design, this brilliant book should be on your bedside table or a place where you can reference it again and again and charge your spiritual batteries.

    Perfect Combination of form and content

    Anyone who is familiar with the wisdom and insight of Eckart Tolle (The Power Of Now) and the wonderful whimsy of the cartoons and drawings of Patrick McDonnell from his Mutts cartoon strip will instantly recognize the genius of putting them together in one book. I gave out about ten copies of this book as Christmas presents and each recipient expressed absolute delight with it. While somewhat Eastern in philosophy it is totally accessible by anyone who seeks a simpler gentler view of life and it is a book to cherish forever for anyone of any age who understands the undefinable joy of animal companionship. You will feel both peaceful and inspired after reading this book and it is wonderful to share with young people.

    Take a chance on this book! Mr Tolle does a wonderful job of sharing that special bond between you and your dog. The higher level that your dog ouches ur lives and helps us be present in the moment.

    Something to think about.

    As expected, the drawings of McDonnell are fantastic. Moving and expressive, with or without words. He never misses his message applying Tolle's philosophy. I finished the book in one sitting, but will surely go back from time to time. It is not a book to read and finish. It's purpose is to constantly guide the reader through life, respecting their pets and all animals they'll share it with.

    Gentle reminders

    This appealed to me as a gifting book. Eckhart Tolle's words with Patrick McDonnell's illustration. It didn't fail as a good gift. Just nice gentle reminders of things we need to remember in life to find quiet.

    Regretted purchase

    I purchased this for my Nook. The printing on my issue was so faded I could barely read it. I have read many books about how our pets touch are lives.......was not impressed with this whimsical version.

    A sweet look at what pets can teach us about life

    These familiar animals drawn by Patrick McDonnell, reveal some of life's essential truths when paired with the words of Eckhart Tolle. This makes a sweet gift for animal lovers.
