Wonder what is going on in your dog’s head? Foxy invites you into his world. Lost and frightened, he fears people, noises, and sudden movements. When he is rescued by Jay and Ellie, he learns to trust and love, but he doesn’t hesitate to question his humans’ puzzling behaviors. “How do you stand on those two legs all day?” 

Foxy gives a dog’s-eye view of dog parks, schools, kennels, hotels, and a moose or two. Enjoy his humorous food riffs, joyful scent discoveries, and wondering what the humans are saying. His in-the-moment observations lend poignancy to the pain and loss he feels when someone becomes ill. The leash that he is so eager to be released from also provides a loving connection to his humans. In the end, that’s what matters most. 

Fans of “A Dog’s Life” and “Racing in the Rain,” will appreciate Foxy’s tale.
