About this title

From the Author

My life has been defined by dogs. I've had six dogs in my life, and each one was different from the other as brother is from sister. But all had a few
things in common. They were all rescue dogs who loved me unconditionally,
and taught me to love without limit."
--WADE ROUSE

From the Back Cover

Critically acclaimed memoirist Wade Rouse has gathered some of America's
best known-humorists--authors, comedians, actors--to offer biting commentary
on what it means to share a life, and a heart, with a dog. From battling for
bed space to trying to transform a pampered NYC pup into a Texas rawhide,
and from helping a shelter rescue navigate through her new life to interpreting
dog run dynamics (and politics), being a canine companion has challenges as
tough as any agility course, but laughter is just a tail wag away. Being part of a
dog's life means experiencing
selflessness, unmitigated joy, and boundless love
on a daily basis--and these contributors capture their dogs' distinct personalities
with uncanny insight and witty prose.
When you open your home to a dog, you open yourself up to the world
around you. Dogs' fearless devotion makes you less afraid. Dealing with their
quirks makes you more tolerable. And living in the moment with them gives
you memories that you'll cherish forever...
