Mindful Dogs Angelo Dirks

Dogs. They are perhaps the most mindful, intentional, and loving creatures on our planet. It should come as no surprise that they have a well-considered ideology. In this small book of photos and instructions for life, we get to listen to the philosophical conversations among three dogs: The Teacher, Young One, and She of Golden Eyes. The result is what might happen if you blended a bit of Richard Bach's Illusions, a smidgen of Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, and just a touch of Mark Twain. Each lesson-from Beauty to Partings-is accompanied by a photograph of one or more mindful dogs, and in one case, a chipmunk. Canine consciousness at its best. Set in large print, this book is perfect for children or adults, and for anyone who wishes to exercise their capability for awareness and wonder.
