Book Description

Out of the mouths of pets comes the same universal questions that humans have grappled with for all eternity: Do hamsters reproduce in heaven? Is thunder absolutely necessary? Does heaven have a scent? Is it a sin to escape from your cage? Author Mark Bricklin has interviewed pets nationwide to find out the deepest questions that plague their souls.

Pets' Letters to God is an engaging, lavishly illustrated collection of the questions, complaints, and praises pets send to the Almightly.

In nearly 100 letters pets comment and wonder about everything from food to mailmen, from dog shows to salvation. With the charming wit of the bestselling French for Cats and the endearing optimism of Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul, Pets' Letters to God transcends the usual, embracing the idea that pets have an intelligence that, though different, is no less than ours.

5 out of 5 stars A MUST FOR ANY PET LOVER!!!.......2004-11-14

I read this book in my vet's office while waiting for our scheduled appointment and as I turned each page I laughed out loud more and more. I am buying it for all of my pet loving friends for Christmas!

1 out of 5 stars This is one LOUSY read!.......2004-06-08

A thoughtful person gave me a copy of Bricklin's poor excuse for humor. Of all pet "letters" pitifully few were even mildly amusing. My disappointment turned to anger when, near the books end, Bricklin throws a barb at the already hopelessly beleaguered pit bull breed. While breed is noted in only a tiny minority of "letters," pit bulls are specified in a less than complimentary reference. This is either misplaced spite or profound ignorance. As a person involved in pit bull rescue I deal with the helpless victims of Bricklin's style of thinking. One in five hundred pit bulls find a home, the rest are put to death. Shame on Bricklin and shame on Hallmark. I'll be passing this information along the rescue network to alert conscientious animal supporters to avoid this and other Hallmark products. For much higher quality humor read Mondo Canine by Jon Winokur.

5 out of 5 stars The FUNNIEST and BEST Book for Animal Lovers!!!.......2004-04-14

This is the FUNNIEST and CUTEST book for ANYONE who likes animals. Men will enjoy it as much, if not more, than women. It is NOT a "religious" book, but a hilarious "translation" by Mark Bricklin of the various "messages" that he is sure various pets are sending up to God.

I have 3 copies of this book at home now and have given at least 7 books to friends, vets, my hairdresser, and family. It is a DELIGHTFUL little addition in a gift basket for someone you know that has a dog, cat, bird, fish, hampster; (you get the idea...)

Examples of Bricklins' humor, which are included:

" Dear God,
Is thunder absolutely necessary?"
McGwire Dog

"Dear God,
How do I get rid of dog breath?"
Delilah Dog

"Dear God,
Are humans on uppers or are we on tranquilers?"
Buddy Box Turtle

"Dear God,
Please Pass this message along to my so-called master:
Why are you trying to teach me to roll over and play dead? Do you find that funny? Funny how?"
Joe Dog

These are just a FEW of the terrific messages to God from a vast menagerie of pets. Most are just really funny, but a few are rather touching.

You cannot go wrong with this book. It is great to bring cheer to anyone's day!

5 out of 5 stars --A treat for people who love animals--.......2003-09-25

PETS' LETTERS TO GOD has over sixty-five letters from dogs, birds, cats and various other animals asking God the tough questions.

For instance, Butch the Boxer asks, "Dear God, If a dog barks his head off in the forest, and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?"

Another dog named Max asks, " Dear God, Are there dogs on other planets, or are we alone? I have been howling at the moon and stars for a long time, but all I ever hear back is the beagle across the street!"

Roddy, who I think is a hamster asks God, " Is it a sin to escape from your cage?"

This is a great gift for anyone who loves their pet or for a pet to gift to a favorite friend. In fact, I learned about this book because Abigail, a beautiful Bichon, recently gave this book to her dear friend who sometimes takes care of her.

5 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Gift!.......2001-11-13

Pets' Letters to God is delightfully funny and insightful. This little book makes a great gift for animal lovers of all ages. You can't read a page without a smile!
