About this listen

From the author of the book phenomenon The Invisible String comes a moving companion title about coping with grief when a pet dies.

"When our pets aren't with us anymore, an Invisible Leash connects our hearts to each other. Forever." That's what Zack's friend Emily tells him after his dog dies. Zack doesn't believe it. He only believes in what he can see. But on an enlightening journey through their neighborhood—and through his grief—he comes to feel the comforting tug of the Invisible Leash. And it feels like love.

Bestselling author Patrice Karst's gentle story uses the same bonding technique from her classic book The Invisible String to help listeners through the experience of the loss of a beloved animal.

"A unique way of helping readers cope. I highly recommend this book be available in shelters, pet stores, veterinary clinics, and grief counseling meetings."―Stacy Dietrich, RVT, BOE, veterinarian

"A truly wondrous book for all ages [that offers] much love and reassurance that...the love between yourself and your animals creates a bond that can never be broken."―Carrie Ball, Pet Bereavement Support Network

"An empathy-driven resource for children reckoning with the loss of a pet."―Publishers Weekly

"The stages of grief are clearly written and illustrated...helpful for grieving children."―Kirkus Reviews

Having lost my beloved Bruno almost 2 month I decided to look into books for help. My boy loved Frisbees and we use to howl together, so I resonated with this book and it brought tears to my eyes. Helps drive home the fact that just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.
