Trixie is a retired Canine Companions for Independence service dog and now lives with well-known author Dean Koontz and his family.

This is just a wonderful, joyful, insightful romp of a book written from the dog perspective of life. It always brings a smile if not a tears-streaming-from-the-eyes can't-breathe-anymore belly laugh!!

A favorite quote:

"Be thankful for your bowls. Good things come in them. Sometimes water. Sometimes juice. Sometimes kibble. Sometimes cantaloupe. Always show thanks for what's in bowls. Smack your lips loud. Lick chops. Drool. Drooling is best way to say thank-you. Can't fake drool. Humans would be happier if drooled more. More drool equals nicer world. Nicer, wetter, sticker. Wear rubber-soled shoes, stain-resistant fabrics. Drool, be happy."

Pros: Author proceeds are donated to Canine Companions for Independence

Cons: Trixie says ha-ha-ha to Cons
