Mystical Dog by Jean Houston Phd

Mystical Dog by Jean Houston Phd

Jean Houston, the celebrated bestselling author and wide-ranging scholar, shows us how animals, and dogs in particular, can help restore and revitalize our connection to the oneness with all life. Houston has spent a lifetime bridging the worlds of animals and humans, exploring a realm that pet owners have glimpsed and indigenous peoples have known for millennia. The author identifies dogs, with their deceptively uncomplicated, joyous, loving nature, as custodes animi, guardians of our souls. She weaves a fascinating and provocative web of wonder, as she regales us with animal stories, like a 21st century Scheherazade. -- New Dimensions
