Sometimes human communication falls short in conveying spiritual truth. God speaks through whatever means He chooses and often he chooses animals. Dogs teach unconditional love. The purr of a kitten can bring peace. Horses show us how to harness our strength with grace. Paws to Reflect offers gentle daily reflections for those who seek to grow spiritually by observing the animal kingdom and all the lessons it teaches.

Through interviews and original contributions from published gay authors, Paws and Reflect explores and celebrates the special and powerful bond between a gay man and his dog. Over 25 stories of personal experience, this well-crafted collection is a touching, powerful and, at times, hilarious ode to this most special of bonds. A must-read for dog-lovers of all gender orientations.

Shortly after my dog, Maggie, passed way, I decided to stop writing her monthly blog, Thoughts from Maggie. So many family members and friends sent emails asking me not to stop her blog. The responses ranged from "I look forward to her blogs the first of every month," to "She has so much to say." They convinced me to continue writing Maggie's blog. While writing, I was reminded of everything she taught me -- while never saying a word. Writing the blog posts became a time of reflection for me and provided an inner calmness. Soon, people shared how Maggie's thoughts also gave them a feeling of calmness or reflection. After receiving this feedback from Maggie's readers, I decided to gather a collection of her blog posts and create a reflection journal. I hope you find Maggie's thoughts as interesting and reflecting as her blog followers do. And yeah -- she's darn cute too This book is dedicated to Maggie -- my buddy. See you some day at the Rainbow Bridge.

The star of this book is Comanche, my Weimaraner. It is a look at life and the twists and turns that it can give you from a dogs point of view!
