Michael knows this because one attacked him when he was twenty-one years old. When he tries to rescue the lost soul of a young boy, Tucker realizes that even after death, sorrow is a very real, very tangible thing, and that there are still fears to overcome and hard choices to be made.' Those souls can be found and helped, but it’s a delicate and dangerous task. Along the way, he learns that some souls don’t immediately move on to the afterlife, but instead, find themselves adrift. Fortunately, he has help in the form of his father, Rocket, and a cast of canine characters who show him the ropes. Tucker encounters many new wonders and finds he has much to learn. At that moment, he realizes that the end is really just a new beginning. Tucker, the canine narrator, takes the reader on an adventure starting from the most unlikely of places: the last day of his life. This Dog’s Afterlife answers those questions. 'Do you ever wonder what your dogs are thinking? How they feel? What they’re dreaming about as they run, whimper, bark, and growl in their sleep? Who or what they’re playing with when they romp around all by themselves? What they’re looking at when all you see is a blank wall or an empty doorway? Will we see them again after they’ve gone? Are they still here watching over us – helping, perhaps even snuggling with us like they used to? What if they wrote and sent you a story from the great beyond?
