In Naomi Brenda McDonald’s new book, Away to Me, My Love she impulsively buys a “shy” Border collie pup named Luke, and believes it’s fate. However, puppy Luke shows no signs of herding instinct, and a trainer tells her to put him down. At every juncture, Naomi must decide whether or not to abandon her dream of entering herding competitions with her beloved dog. Despite her earnest desire to enter this new, exciting world with respect and belonging, she inadvertently makes an enemy who can change everything for her and for her beloved Luke. When Naomi has a vision of a past life, she realizes her journey with Luke involves more than meets the eye, more than she ever imagined. With the help of a medicine woman, Naomi learns that Luke is her teacher, not only for herding competitions but also for a spiritual journey that would take her into the world of shamanic healing, animal communication, and spiritual beings most people cannot see.
Book Description in Luke's Words
“This is a story of me, a handsome sheepdog named Luke. Naomi bought me because a hummingbird came along at just the right time to allow her heart to make a seemingly insensible decision. This is a story of loving someone--me again—so much that Naomi is driven to triumph over the internal shadows that sabotaged a lifelong dream.
It wasn’t easy, Mom’s a tough cookie, but I had plenty of help: my dad, Mac, coyotes, a rotten guy, a shaman, and alter ego versions of ourselves from a previous lifetime: A cool teenager from the seventeenth century, Jamie, and his sheepdog, Addie.
During our predestined journey together, mom learned profound bits of wisdom that it took losing me for her to seek. But, it’s a human thing, and why I chose her for this lifetime.
At my request, she opened her soul like a book and here it all is: her tears… many tears, lots of laughter, but most importantly a love that touched her heart in a way that no one else could—me a sheepdog named Luke—Bringer of Light.”

Message From Naomi
When I reflect on my experiences, I realize that my life has come full circle. I am truly on my soul’s journey to help humans and animals make a spiritual connection, and feel balanced and whole through my work as an animal communicator and Shamanic healer. My love and connection to the animal kingdom, which started when I was three years old, led me to horse training and showing, then competing with herding dogs. All of my life animals have been an important part of who I am and taught me many of my life’s lessons.

“For every one of us who has trained and dreamed of the perfect performance dog, Away to Me, My Love is a must-read. This story shows us that the path to victory can show up in many different ways. For anyone who has ever heard a dog ‘calling’ through time and space, this story will be a confirmation of those calls.”—Karla Spitzer, AKC rally judge, rally and obedience competitor, and author of The Everything Boxer Book
Mary Anne Harris –
“Traditional therapy helps millions each and every day. But for some, the trauma so deep, the pain so hard to reach that only a guide in another form can truly unlock the deeper healing. Away To Me, My Love, is the story of a faithful and somewhat unlikely hero, Luke, who shepherds his owner to healing and love.”—Mary Anne Harris, Minister of Unity Church of Christianity
