About this listen

A wonderfully quirky, heartbreaking, heart-warming, and thought-provoking story of a woman's dog who not only talks to her, he talks to God. Recently widowed Mary Fassler has no choice except to believe Rufus, the miniature schnauzer, who claims to speak to the Divine. The question is: Will Mary follow the dog's advice and leave everything she knows and loves? Is this at the urging of God? Or is it something else? Will Mary risk it all or ignore the urgings of her own heart?

Critic reviews

"I loved this story. Quirky and unusual, this unique tale wove a spell around me and drew me in. It wasn't what I expected at all, and when I turned the last page, it left me wanting more." (Ane Mulligan, sr. editor of Novel Rocket)
"The Dog That Talked to God is a moving and powerful read, inspirational long after the last page has been turned." (New York Journal of Books)

Great book!

I don’t have the words to describe how much I loved this book. The dog taking and how and when he did made this book hard to stop listening too. Made me laugh and think. The end made me cry in a happy way. You will understand when you get to that point. If the dog and the woman’s relationship touches you as much as it did me, you will shed a tear too. No he doesn’t die!! 😊

Love, love, loved this book.

Well written and well performed. It was heartwarming and entertaining. We have always had Miniature Schnauzers named Winston, Rocko, and Dory. It would have been fun to imagine what they would say. I will listen to this book again!!!

WOW

I did not know what to expect but this was written so well I could not stop listening. It was just so compelling and the characters were wonderfully developed. The situations were quite emotional but were well done. Going to look for more from this author.

I really enjoyed the overall story. The middle was

a little slow for my taste but keep going because the end really picks up nicely. I think it's well worth the time and who knows you my learn something about yourself.

Heartwarming

A wonderful storyline of inspiration and hope. I got the sense the author may have written this from personal experience. It reaches out to anyone who has lost a loved one and still is mired in grief. This book is a pathway to peace

Loved The Story & Narration

I learned a lot from my golden retriever, Buddy a lot like this main character in this story who was heart broken after the death of her husband and son. About the only time I wasn't listening to this audiobook was when I was eating, sleeping, talking to family and friends or watching the news on television. If you love dogs, this audiobook is in one I added to my favorites now in this genre.
