In this intimate, moving, and revealing memoir, Bill Henderson, the beloved founder of the Pushcart Press, divides the stages of his life into canine epochs. There was (and there always is) the first dog, the worst dog, and the one dog who saved the marriage. With lovely line drawings by Leslie Moore, this slim volume, filled with life lessons and genuine affection, is a book that anyone who has known and treasured canine affection will embrace.
