About This Book
In Soul of a Dog, Izzy & Lenore, A Good Dog, and other acclaimed works,
New York Times bestselling author Jon Katz has written meaningfully
about the cherished bond between humans and animals?especially our
intense connection to our pets. Now, in this moving and thoughtful book,
Katz addresses the difficult but necessary topic of saying goodbye to a
devoted companion, and offers comfort, wisdom, and a way forward from
sorrow to acceptance.
When Jon Katz first brought Orson home, he couldn¡¯t predict how this
boisterous border collie would change his life, most notably by
inspiring him to buy Bedlam Farm. Yet for all of Katz¡¯s years as a dog
owner, Orson¡¯s death shook him in a deeply profound way. ¡°I was
embarrassed by my grief,¡± he remembers. ¡°What right did I have to fall
to pieces over a border collie?¡±
Drawing on personal experiences, stories from fellow pet owners, and
philosophical reflections, Katz provides guidance and support for those
in mourning. By allowing ourselves to grieve honestly and openly, he
posits, we can in time celebrate the dogs, cats, and other creatures
that have so enriched us. With great compassion, Katz compels us to
consider if we gave our pets good lives, if we were their advocates in
times of need, and if we used our best judgments in the end. In dealing
with these issues, we can alleviate guilt, let go, and help others who
are undergoing similar passages.
Full of empathy, insight, and sage advice, Going Home is an invaluable
guide and touchstone for anyone who has lost a pet. Jon Katz honors the
animals that have graced our lives and reveals their truly timeless
gifts: unwavering companionship and undying love.
