More Shelbydog Chronicles: Reflections on a Dog’s Life by Her Friend, Knowing Your Pet
Ebook
This book continues The Shelbydog Chronicles by Shelby Cole, in which Shelby, a sixty-pound Labrador-Boxer mix, narrates the events of the first ten years of her life. As she approaches her twelfth birthday, she has delegated her friend, Mark G. Boyer, to write More Shelbydog Chronicles. Boyer shares the experiences he has had with Shelbydog in twenty-seven short reflections with the goal of fostering reflection on how one's life intersects with one's pet.
At the end of each chapter are reflection questions designed to help the readers get to know their pets better and get to know themselves better, too. Just as Shelbydog has changed Boyer's physical and spiritual life, the readers will become aware of how their pets have changed their own physical and spiritual lives.
“For those who enjoyed the first volume of the Shelbydog Chronicles, this latest offering not only continues the story but brings fresh dimensions to the relationship between a dog and her friend Mark Boyer. It quickly becomes clear that the bond between pets and people is both a physical and spiritual one. The added feature of reflection questions draws the reader into common health issues and personalizes the story of their life together. Highly recommended for all pet lovers.”
—Victor H. Matthews, professor emeritus of religious studies, Missouri State University
“This captivating sequel to the Shelbydog Chronicles continues the touching life story of Shelby Cole in her golden years.

—John Kossler, ecologist, Western Meridian Resources
“As a witness of the amazing bond of love and companionship between Mark and Shelbydog, I am excited for more of their relational journey to be shared. May the readers’ relationship with their pet or pets be as rewarding and blessed.”
