Dearest Carol,

Many minutes passed before we could open your treasure book given to us. I knew I’d cry so I carried it to a safe corner and absorbed every thought, every image, every feeling from joy to peace to sorrow. You’ve captured it all. In my life, I’ve been blessed with now 7 Golden Retrievers, Ron’s on his 5th! But Tori gave us both the sweet memory of our 1st together, Cassie ♥

The book is a beautiful work of art written with love, illustrated with tender emotion.

We are grateful for this gift and for Patrizia’s and your talent.

Thank you,
Ron and Michelle

Hi Carol,

I received your book on Saturday.

Your book and your story are so beautiful. I can feel the love that Tori received from you and the love you received from Tori.

Tears were in my eyes when Tori wanted to have wings to fly with the geese. I cried when Tori stopped moving her legs and flew with the geese, her new friends. Tori is very nice. She is a good girl.

I really love your book.

Thank you so much,
Worasun, Or, Kanoon and Pocky

Carol,

Beth recently gifted your book to our girls (Tatum – 2.5 and Callan 8 months) and they absolutely adore Tori’s story. Thank you for your generosity and for sharing Tori’s journey with us. We recently lost our pup Lincoln after a tough battle with sickness, so your book really hit home. This will be one that I know our girls will cherish for many years to come. A beautiful story with illustrations to match. Thank you again!

Here’s to Tori!

Love,
Steven, Britt, Tatum, Callan and Remy

Carol, I wanted to thank you again. I read the whole book that you gave me and I cried! It's beautiful and touching.  I see my Wendy in it …  but I hope she doesn’t grow wings for a very long time!

Hugs,

I received my book a couple days ago and sat down to read it. I was instantly drawn into the story. I knew this dog personally! She was an adventure hound if you ever met one! Full of spunk! Mischievous is an understatement! I didn’t even get to the end before I started crying my eyes out. If you have children and pets, I highly recommend this book as a learning tool for the loss of that beloved pet. It will bring a sense of peace if you love your devoted pet as much as we do! Carol, I loved this book! And Patrizia Donaera, you brought the book to life through your beautiful illustrations!
