Dog Is My Co-Pilot is an anthology of essays, short
stories, and expert commentaries that explores every aspect of our life
with dogs. Fifty percent of the material here has never been published
before. The book is divided into four sections: Beginnings explores
that first meeting, " the initial murmurings when a dog-human relationship
is formed." Pack investigates the theme of "togetherness"
and pays tribute to the dynamic of multiple personalities in the canine-human
relationship. Lessons examines what dogs teach us, from love to enlightenment.
The final section, Passages, reflects on the themes of true friendship,
transformation, and loss.
In selections that are humorous, poignant, truthful,
sometimes surprising, and frequently uplifting, Dog Is My Co-Pilot embraces
the full experience of the world's oldest friendship. For people who
love great writing and, yes, great dogs, it's a book to be both shared
and treasured.
A brilliant gift, guaranteed to go right to
the heart of any dog lover!
