The Radical Practice of Loving Everyone: A Four-Legged Approach to Enlightenment

Is 'loving everyone' really possible, as the title of Michael J. Chase's new book suggests? The answer may surprise you, as he chronicles his journey toward enlightenment, gaining insight along the way from a very unlikely source - a four-legged guru named Mollie, who happens to be the most lovable yet mischievous dog in the world. In Michael's attempt to understand his best friend's ability to unconditionally love all, he begins to see the world through her eyes, especially during their morning walks. Mollie's vivacious spirit, hilarious antics, and maddening behavior ultimately lead to profound insights learned at the other end of the leash. Written with heart and humour, this one-of-a-kind story of friendship and a divine albeit outrageous dog, delivers on its promise to reveal a pathway toward enlightenment . . . and it brings us all a step closer to 'loving everyone.'

"This is a real treat for dog lovers interested in digging deeper into how to live and love with a pure heart. Don't confuse this with the other dog books out there, because there's no comparison. I highly recommend it! Get a few copies to share with the rest of your pack."
