Enlightenment doesn't always come in the form we expect. It need not appear as a self-styled guru or a complicated theory measuring some mysterious quality. Sometimes it's as close as the chocolate Lab bounding happily through the backyard or the lovable terrier contentedly curled up in one's lap. In the foreword to this thoughtful examination of enlightenment, Dr. Bernie Siegel sums it up: “Dogs are healers. They are enlightened. They seem to have figured out how to live beautifully so much better than we humans have.” In these pages, distinctive black-and-white dog images by acclaimed animal photographer Zachary Folk are illuminated by captions of down-to-earth spiritual wisdom “from” the dogs to us, their often confused humans. A delightful romp through canine philosophy, this charming collection celebrates the simple wisdom and that special combination of natural earthiness and subtle spirituality that characterize humankind's best friend.
“Whenever someone asks me to suggest a role model, I point to my dogs.“ — from the foreword by Dr. Bernie S. Siegel “Anyone who has experienced the unconditional love of animals should remember that it is a profound real-life lesson worth applying to the rest of our lives. The Lazy Dog's Guide to Enlightenment is a welcome reminder.” — Tom Corwin, author of Mostly Bob “The Lazy Dog's Guide to Enlightenment grabbed me from the first photo. I kept turning pages until I had gone through the whole book — without realizing I had done so. It was wonderful. I don't see how anyone who loves dogs could fail to love this book. The concept, execution, and content are perfect. This book will definitely be on my permanent animal lovers' gift list. Five stars!” — Skip Haynes, president, Laurel Canyon Animal Company
