DOG PAWSE: Family dogs can connect us spiritually My tail wags at the number of readers who have shared their stories and contacted me with questions after the passing of their four-legged family members.

This creature that is present in our most private moments also compels us to examine the bigger picture of life and sometimes causes us to ask ourselves some of the "difficult" questions about our earthly existence. |
