What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Navigating life can sometimes feel like an impossible task, and often guidance is found in the most unlikely places.

Let one dog’s journey of discovery show you the way.

Follow the tale of a dog’s ten lives and learn life’s most important lessons from man’s best friend’s viewpoint. Funny, realistic, and sometimes sad, Dogs Get Ten Lives is an emotional roller coaster that provides a different perspective on human relationships and the role of dogs in our lives and the wisdom they provide.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Jack de Golia's friendly, engaging voice brings a childlike quality to canine Luna's story as she tells her mate about her nine previous lives. There's warmth in de Golia's voice as Luna recalls beloved human companions and then sadness and anxiety as her previous selves adjust to changes in the humans' lives. Her experience as a street dog, teaming up with another dog and a cat, will give listeners a smile even as they realize how rough life on the street was. Cruelty comes into Luna's past lives in the form of an abusive drunken owner and a brutal career as a fight dog, with profanity popping up occasionally. De Golia's voice resets to a human perspective for dog-related short stories at the end." (AudioFile)

Dogs Get Ten Lives

This book follows one dog through ten lives, I won't lie some are sad but others are awesome. It is all from the perspective of the dog and how it perceives everything around it, sight , smells, and actions. It is how it manages to make the best of all of it. This is really hard to describe but if you are a animal lover you will get this, maybe this is how we have come to think of some animals as having old souls.

I listened to this book not long after a dear friend doggie crossed the rainbow bridge or was reborn, Bert had a very old soul and his beginning wasn't great but a nice man found him, took him home and gave him the best a dog could have with tons of love. So parts were hard to listen too but other parts of this book were very comforting to hear. The story defiantly does one thing and that will make you love your pups that much more. Narrator Jack de Golia does a awesome job capturing this pups feelings in each story it is like he made a connection with this pupster, and makes it just that much better to listen too.
