Churches throughout the world offer little comfort to grieving owners of dying or deceased pets. This fact is brought to light when Sarah’s owners seek comfort from their priest who presents them with the overwhelming opinion that animals are soulless.

The Watsons send this message: In the absence of comforting spiritual leadership there is a need for animal stories that deal with death. To uplift one another each of us need to share our personal experiences. One way to do this is through the telling of dreams. Having dreams of our animals can be reassuring and spiritually healing.
