About the Book

Oliver was a very special dog. His enthusiasm for life and his love for his family are a lasting legacy. We still mourn his loss.

His death was particularly hard for the children. The loss of a pet can be devastating to a child. It is often their first experience with death and creates feelings that are sad, scary, confusing, and intense. Experts suggest that children need to work through their grief, to talk about their pet, to discuss what death means, and to find plenty of reassurance and affection. They often want talk about their pets over and over again, so patience and understanding are necessities.

Oliver’s Book is more than a memorial to a beloved pet. It can help any family coping with the loss of a beloved furry, finned, or feathered friend. The book helps children talk about the good times, the funny memories, the enduring love. It helps them understand that tears are a tribute and happy memories are a gift that endures. Reading Oliver’s Book helps children revisit the life and death of a pet again and again in a healing, reassuring, and nurturing way.

For truly, the love of a dog does indeed last forever.
