When a Golden Retriever plays matchmaker, anything is possible! A Golden Retriever named Willy introduces two guys who become his Dads. Together they take off to Cape Cod to make a film. The drama of the movie mirrors the story of their lives. Part travelogue, part romance, part Hollywood, this is a thoroughly entertaining dog adventure you won't want to miss.

A Golden Retriever & His Two Dads tells the story of how Dan's Golden Retriever, Willy, helps him to find a life partner. Willy has been the love of Dan's life for over nine years helping him survive a life-threatening disease. But now Dan would like a relationship with someone of his own species. One morning at the local coffee shop, Willy pesters a handsome patron to the point that Dan must intervene and apologize. His name is James and he's a movie producer. A romance develops but long distance relationships are difficult to maintain.

Willy's ears perk up when he hears James announce that he is leaving for six weeks to make a film on Cape Cod. He invites Dan and Willy to join him and even offers to hire them to work on the film crew. Now Dan and Willy must decide if they are ready to commit to living and working with James. They accept the offer and thus the experiment on Cape Cod begins.

It is uncanny when they discover that the drama of the movie seems to mirror the adventure that Willy, Dan & James are about to embark on. Dan is nervous about living with James as they are temperamental opposites. Starting a new relationship while making a film provides them with ample obstacles to resolve their different approaches; especially when Willy suddenly collapses with a mysterious sickness or when Dan's parents show up on the set uninvited, to name a few.

About the Author

Dan Perdios is an extensively published PEN Grant award-winning journalist. His articles have appeared in magazines, newspapers, and websites such as: We The People, The Press Democrat, the Bay Area Reporter, the Russian River Times, the Desert Times, In LA Magazine, The Desert Sun, Bay Woof, and The Dodo.

Dan has been a civil rights activist since he was 19 in the days of Harvey Milk and the gay rights movement. When the epidemic raged it was an easy shift to AIDS activism. Dan attributes his survival during that unimaginable pandemic to the love and loyalty of his dogs. Specifically, Golden Retrievers. His first, Nicholas, came into his life as a golden ball of fur. Willy, the co-star of A Golden Retriever and His Two Dads arrived in 1997. His current Golden, Morgan, was a one year old rescue dog. The love for his dogs opened him up to a deep appreciation for nature and the great outdoors. For the last thirty years, Dan and his Goldens have returned to Cape Cod in the summer to reconnect with his large extended family and to explore the beauty of the Cape and the Islands.

In the last few years Dan has taken his love of nature and his dogs a step further. Now his passion lies with the animal rights movement. He believes animal rights is the new gay rights. He recently bought his first vegan belt and is moving more and more to an animal free diet.

Store Description

Member: Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America, International League of Antiquarian Booksellers, Southern New England Antiquarian Booksellers. "One of the finest in N.E. (&) the premier used book shop on Cape Cod." - Used Book Lover's Guide. We are a general used and rare book shop with about 70,000 volumes. Located half way between Falmouth and Hyannis (4632 Falmouth Rd, Rte 28), we are named in honor of the famous colonial era printer and philanthropist, founder (1812) of the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester. We started in Worcester in 1969, and moved to the Cape in 1990. Impressed with architectural craftmanship, in Worcester we were stewards and renewers of a decorative Queen Anne Victorian. Here on the Cape we take care of the newest (1860) Crocker family home in the village of Cotuit, part of the town of Barnstable: a tall peaked Italianate Victorian now painted pink and four other colors. The owner's training has included work in four libraries and apprenticeship with bookseller Irving Ephraim (1908-1989) of Worcester who began his own career during the depression. Able assistants have always been and known the meaning of 'book people.' Remembering with fondness Mr. E. and the enormous influence of our home town librarians, we try to continue their tradition of service. Inquiries and orders gratefully received. 508-428-2752. isthomas@aol.com. www.isaiahthomasbooks.com.Please visit us in our open shop on Cape Cod. Open Tuesday - Saturday 11-5, Sunday 12-5.
