This is the story of a little dog who suddenly lost the love of her life, and

how her grief and feelings of abandonment were healed through her 

own unique spiritual encounter.

There have been many people who visited Heaven during a near-death

experience, but can a dog have a similar experience? What can a grieving

dog teach us about the Other Side, or the spirit realm?

The answers to these questions and more are in this story of one little

dog’s journey Over the Rainbow Bridge—and Back.

What others are saying about this book:

• "I rate this book, Over the Rainbow Bridge—and Back, five stars
  

and a must-read for anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one. I

was pastor and personal friends with Gordon, Maddi and yes, even

Shadow. The three were inseparable and the bond they shared was

obvious to all who knew them. When Maddi transitioned it was not

only a great loss to Gordon but to Shadow as well. I think you will find

the grieving and healing process that both Gordon and Shadow have

journeyed through to be a valuable resource to draw on when you

experience the loss of a loved one way too early. What stuck out to me

as I read the book was the Spirit and the heartfelt healing being imparted

to the reader coming through the process that both Gordon and Shadow experienced. I highly recommend this book, especially to those who have suffered the loss of a valued love one."~ Don Keathley, Founder and President of Global Grace Seminary

• "Over the Rainbow Bridge—and Back is a charming, touching, precious, surprising story about how a grieving 
  

human came to recognize and empathize with the silent grief of a tiny creature, and how they were both healed and became inseparable companions." ~ Vanessa, Titusville, FL

• "Gordon I finished your book! That was amazing man I love it. So good.... It made me cry several times. I’m so
  

very happy that you and shadow were able to find completeness, peace and healing from this. The best part of the book is the hope that it provides for people. Your story will definitely make a lasting impression in the grief world!." ~ Mario A 

• “You’re Back!” Tail wildly wagging, joyful jumping, and loads of licks— these are all easily-understood loving
  

welcoming-home communication from our furry family members. But, how do our pets communicate loss?  Over the Rainbow Bridge-and Back! provides heart-warming insight of dealing with and communicating loss of a loved one via human and beloved pet experiences; and along the grief journey, opening of mind and heart to receive the beautiful awareness of spiritual connection with a deceased loved one. Gordon’s shared perspective of his true-love, the equaled intensity of Shadow’s communicated loss, and the enlightenment and joy of each other’s spiritual connection with their loved one are all elements of this must-read book; a valuable gift to one’s own journey with love, loss, and beyond. ~ Jane Andrist; Fellow Friend, Dog-Lover, Believer. ​
