My Review:
I first heard about “If I Should Die Before My Dog” by Joe
and Cathy Connolly through another dog blog that I follow. I immediately put the book on my Amazon wish
list because I wanted to add the information to my control log (that I am
working on).
I jumped at the chance to do a review for it. I have done book reviews before (for Blogging for Books),
but this will be my first book tour and giveway!
When I told my husband I was going to do this review, his
first thought – morbid. Probably what
most people would think, but think about it – who knows your dog better than
you? If something happened to you, would
the next guardian know your furbaby’s quirks and know how to handle them?
How about if for some reason you had to give up your
animal? I know as a volunteer at a local
animal shelter, they would LOVE to get something like this to help with placing
an animal (future editions of this book will include cat and horse versions).
I would recommend this book for all dog owners. Based on their own experience with taking
care of a family member’s dog after they passed, the authors have thought of
everything that a new guardian would need to know about their “new” pet. Do you travel a lot and need to leave your
dog in someone else’s care? This book
can also be used as a guide while you are away.
The person watching your dog doesn’t have to guess and you don’t have to
worry about telling the sitter all of the little quirks of your baby – it’s all
in the book!
A Dog Lovers lasting guide.......An beautifully illustrated interactive book that one fills in all of the information about their
dogs life in the event they can no longer care for them to help ensure your pets are taken care of.
A thought provoking check list for dog lovers, who unfortunately and with much sadness can no longer take care of their dog.
This book will assist those who want to prepare for their dogs future in an easy to use format that will guide them through the process of telling the "story" of their dogs life, for their pets "Next Guardian".
None of us can predict the future, but in the event situations arise such as death, health impairment or left with no other choice but to give them up, this book will be there to assist your beloved pet with the transition from one home to another.
