A Book by Dr. Greg Cynaumon
Waiting At The Gate
How God Shaped the Soul of a Dog, and Why You'll See Yours Again
Waiting at the Gate explores one of the most enduring questions asked by pet owners: Will I see my dog again in heaven? Rather than relying on sentiment or wishful thinking, former police investigator and Doctor of Psychology Dr. Greg Cynaumon approaches the question like a detective—following the evidence wherever it leads. Drawing from Scripture, behavioral psychology, biology, and decades of experience with police K-9s, therapy dogs, and family pets, he presents a compelling case that the extraordinary bond God created between people and dogs was never accidental—and may not be temporary.

"
I lost my golden retriever of 14 years and didn't know how to grieve. This book gave me the path to move on from mourning to faith for a reunion. I've read it two times.

Dr. Cynaumon writes the way a good pastor talks — honest, warm, and never preachy. I felt understood on every page. My whole family read it after we lost our lab.
