Lisa Price’s life has always gone to the dogs. Beginning with Rusty, a neighborhood terrier who visits during her childhood bout with mumps, and ending with Josey, an endlessly happy German shorthaired pointer, Price takes readers on a funny, sad, adventurous and finally optimistic tale (tail?) of a life enhanced by an array of canine characters. Dog lovers can measure their lives by the lifetimes of a succession of dogs. From the sheltered cushion of suburbia to a hopelessly dilapidated Pennsylvania farm, from the Appalachian Trail to the jungles of South America, through marriage, divorce and a search for love often as fruitless as trying to dig up a chipmunk, Price tells her story using a series of dog stories that will make you laugh, cry and, ultimately, look to the future as dogs see it. Work hard. Sleep well. Wag your tail, and fall in love, whenever you get a chance.
