Much of what the author discussed in this book is sensible and easy to determine for oneself. Pets do become part of one's family and it is hard to let them go. I still call our current dog by our last dog's name occasionally and I miss the cat I ever had. I was delighted to find a picture of her nestled in my camera.
Some of the stories were quite interesting. I loved to hear about the author's donkey named Elvis. What an animal! On the other hand some of the stories were rather mundane. Growing up on a farm where we rarely named the farm animals I understood that aspect. The only lamb that ever had a name was Tiny, an orphan that grew up to be nothing but. Our dogs had names always but our cats never. I don't really know why except they were referred to as barn cats. Yes, as children we played with them but they never came into the house and so often they roamed off to another farm.
Should you read the little book? If you are grieving why not. It might help you cope with the pain of losing your pet. If not, wait until you are.
