This book is about: Humans and their loving dogs living their lives together until death. Dog's devotion does not always end at the grave. Dogs return from the other side to comfort and aid their human companions. This book contains 20 stories about how the beloved family dog comes back from the dead to assist their loving masters.

My favorite character in this book is Preston the Boxer in the story "Trick or Treat" because: He dies of cancer the night before halloween which is his favorite holiday. His job when living was to protect everyone and everything that lived in his development. The one halloween night (the day after Prestons death) Prestons ghost came back and he looked, felt, and was heard so real. This young boy dropped his halloween candy in the street and was about to get hit by a car. Preston sprang into action and he pushed the little boy out of way and was hit by the car himself. His master Cindy and her friends saw the whole thing, but when the driving came out of the car, preston vanished. Cindy and her friends went back to Cindy's house to tell her mom everything. The mother questioned her daughter. Cindy did not know that Preston had died the night before, and thats what her mother told her. Cindy was confused and shocked that her dog Preston's ghost came back on halloween night and saved a young boys life.

I liked / didn't like this book because: i believe in ghosts and i love dogs. Putting them both together is a perfect book for me.

You should / should not read this book because: You should only read this book if you believe. If you do not believe, then you better read this book because once you do, you will always believe and always be alert.
