Forever Faithful
Most animal lovers, in their lives, have experienced bonding with a very special dog. These are the dogs that seem more than just dogs, almost human. They appear to reason and are responsible for their actions. They are self-aware and therefore sentient. Jenny Smedley believes these are the dogs that 'return'. Life after life they reappear at our sides, spiritually understanding, and containing a spark of our own soul within them. Forever Faithful tells the poignant story of one such dog, and how she found her way back to her owner in a new life.
From the first sentence of Jenny Smedley's enchanting book, "Forever Faithful - Dogs That Return," the reader is completely and utterly invested in the welfare of the terrified black puppy, Ace. The journey that brings Ace to Jenny and her family is filled with joy, recognition, and the role our animals can play in the evolvement of our souls – and theirs. Jenny's adventures with Ace, and her horse Sky, eloquently traverse the timeless space of the spirit and heart. From their lives together in medieval Britain, to the plains of the American frontier, to a cottage and pasture in the twenty-first century English countryside, Jenny, Ace, and Sky demonstrate that no matter the time or place, our animal friends will find us, and, are essential partners in our soul's journey. Jenny's true-live(s) story of her beloved dog and horse are a must read for every person who has ever loved, and been loved, by an animal companion.
