This is a link to a review of what is likely another amazing book, about animals, their spiritual nature, developing a truly spiritual relationship with all of them, and more importantly, a book for the ultimate benefit of these wondrous beings and ourselves. The book is called "Animal Grace: Entering A Spiritual Relationship With Our Fellow Creatures", by Mary Lou Randour, PhD, and is found on the Animals & Society forum website (a website "linking scholars and professionals through training, education and advocacy." I'm hoping it's still in print as I'd like to read it myself, even though I'm almost certain I'm already living this author's ideas. (the other two books mentioned, by Gary Kowalski and Susan Chernak-McElroy are also very good reads)
