Not a bad library find, guess he has more friends than other authors and knows how to sell himself. Sometimes it sounds like he read Backyard Dog which is much more intuitive than his book. The 'purpose' is up in the air for me, so is a dog supposed to be reincarnated until he returns to his original owner? Dogs start their lives without any previous knowledge or we'd have puppies as knowledgeable as adults. The reincarnation thing doesn't work for me, as the puppies telling their own life stories in Backyard Dog, outlining the lives of a litter of 10 puppies. A much better angle to the subject.
If I had to choose between 2 similar writings I would definitely go with Backyard Dog, the author has much more history and experience with dogs and it shows in the writing. Clearly this author likes dogs but he just isn't there inside them the same way Benzel is.
