Mindful Dogs
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Dogs. They are perhaps the most mindful, intentional, and loving creatures on our planet. It should come as no surprise that they have a well-considered ideology. In this small book of photos and instructions for life, we get to listen to the philosophical conversations among three dogs: The Teacher, Young One, and She of Golden Eyes. The result is what might happen if you blended a bit of Richard Bach's Illusions, a smidgen of Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, and just a touch of Mark Twain. Each lesson—from Beauty to Partings—is accompanied by a photograph of one or more mindful dogs, and in one case, a chipmunk. Canine consciousness at its best.Set in large print, this book is perfect for children or adults, and for anyone who wishes to exercise their capability for awareness and wonder.NOTE: This ebook is only recommended for readers with a color display. About half the pages are beautiful color photos of the dogs, and a black and white reader just won’t do them justice.

Nobody enjoys and loves dogs more than author Leland Dirks. He enjoys his blissful life in the middle of Colorado's San Luis Valley. His only companions are Angelo and Maggie. He knows that God's greatest gift to mankind are canines, which love us, honor us, protect us, and are the best ever companions to those who live alone. This thoughtful book of wisdom and beautiful pictures is awesome. Leland Dirks has written several stories which reflect his love, tenderness, and understanding. Take time to read this remarkable, insightful story and you'll want to read ALL his stories. Highly recommend.

I loved Mindful Dogs. It made me feel like I do when I read Siddhartha by Herman Hesse or Illusions by Richard Bach, it makes me think about things from a different perspective and leaves me just a little bit in love with life.

Another fantastic book by the Dirks! Each page is enjoyable to read, provides a wonderful message, story or life lesson, sometimes all three! The pictures are wonderful of the stars of the book. I highly recommend this to all who love dogs and wonderful writing!Mindful Dogs

As always, Mr. Dirks has given us a wonderful selection of brief, philosophical pieces matched by his lovely photographs. The lessons the Teacher provides are suitable for all ages. I highly recommend this book.
