Summary

Since ancient times, stories have abounded concerning ghost animals. From the menacing demon dogs of medieval England to present-day encounters with animal apparitions, there can be little doubt that animals, like people, live after death and pass back and forth between this world and the next. From the amazing to the amusing, the incredible to the inspirational, the horrifying to the heartwarming, this book shows that not even death can sever our bonds with our pets.
