Eight And One-Half Little Bostons

An engaging memoir, written as a tribute to the author's Boston Terriers, and to the whole canine world. Echoing throughout the story is the theme, "animals, dogs in particular, are usually nicer than most people." This biography has a story line, but is primarily a series of anecdotes which will entertain readers with the personalities and antics of both the dogs and their human parents. The book is heartwarming, often humorous, occasionally hilarious, and regrettably sometimes heartbreaking. It is a love story which will appeal to Boston Terrier devotees, perhaps dog lovers in general, and possibly even cat lovers. It might also be enjoyed by readers who appreciate a simple, sweet, decent, funny, non-violent, entertaining story minus profanity and graphic sex. As a memorial to the Thomas family's Bostons, a portion of any profits will be donated to the Humane Society of the United States, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the North Campus of the San Diego, California Humane Society.
