Contributor(s):Author: John Gray Illustrator: Shanna Brickell Edgar the Owl and Freddy the Fox show readers of all ages how saying goodbye to a beloved animal does not mean saying goodbye forever.

----------When John's puppy Samuel died unexpectedly at just six months old it brought a profound sadness to their home and a sense that this was just not fair.
For the first time John understood how a child must feel when they lose a pet of any age, asking themselves, Why? Hoping to turn his pain into something positive, John put pen to paper and wrote a story to help any child who has lost a pet.
In God Needed a Puppy John guides children through the grieving process by using friendly animals from the forest to explain the reasons why a beloved pet sometimes has to leave us.
He reassures them that this goodbye is not forever and offers hope that other furry friends will someday come into their lives.
