I started reading this book a few days ago and then stopped, but now that I come back to it, I think there were many interesting things to write about and reflect upon about this book. Going Home talks about personal stories from different individuals and even stories from the author himself, what to do with pets. There are many different "chapters" in this book all talking about different choices you must make if you want an animal, or if your animals is gone. It starts up very sad, his dog died and he came home to bury him on the top of the hill where the authors farm was and so on. During the book the reading is eventually meant to understand that feeling sadness for a pet who is gone is ok because it is normal. There are recommendations included and somethings a pet owner could do to have the best memories once the pat is gone.
Some chapters from this book are:
The author himself has been through multiple losses which allowed him to write a book about dogs and other animals and what to do about every problem you encounter. He used to have border collies, horses, farm animals, golden retrievers and so on.. After reading this book, I felt pretty sad thinking of how my dog is once going to dye because I know he means a lot to me, but hopefully, every time a pet dies, it goes into a better world, and once we reach that world as well, we will all be reunited.
