Customer Reviews

Excellent Book!

This is a must have book for anyone who has pets. Some of his experiences are quite comical and others are heart touching. Very well written. You will want to share it with your friends. I highly recommend!

Love Animals? Read "No Dogs in Heaven?"

This book was great light reading. Working for 12 vets, I can relate to his adventures somewhat and they ran the gamut of emotions. It was well written and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves animals and loves reading about them. No Dogs in Heaven? How silly can anyone be to think they are not there!

A fun read!

I always enjoy reading true stories about the profession. While James Herriott is best known for this genre, it's nice to see other doctors with a flair for writing also sharing their many interesting experiences. Dr. Sharp has written a neat book that pet owners and veterinarians are sure to enjoy. The stories are light-hearted and ones veterinarians everywhere can certainly relate to as they read. It's simply pure fun! Shawn Messonnier DVM Author of the award-winning The Natural Health Bible for Dogs & Cats, 8 Weeks to a Healthy Dog, The Allergy Solution for Dogs

Precious Times Not Forgotten

A Fantastic Rendition of what Friendship and Life is "All About". You will laugh and you may cry. All because of the memories these stories will provide and remind you of from the years gone by. You see we knew and cherished several of these people or animals, during our childhood and adult life. This is a book truly worth reading because it may teach you some ingredients to be a FRIEND. selbeeP T & B
