The wonderful real-life story of Lenore, the very cute - but very hungry Labrador puppy, by Sunday Times bestselling author Jon Katz. Now published for younger readers for the first time!
Jon Katz has written for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, GQ and other magazines as well as having a regular column about dogs and rural life for online magazine Slate. He has written sixteen books, many of them about dogs, and co-hosts an award-winning radio show Dog Talk. After the period of this book, he moved to a farm in upstate New York where he and his wife live together with their dogs, sheep, cows, donkeys, a barn cat and four chickens. His website is www.bedlamfarm.com.
Jon Katz understands dogs as few others do, intuitively and
unburdened by sentimentality. His keen insights cut to the heart of
the human-pet relationship - its immense joys and painful sorrows.
With wisdom and grace, he unlocks the canine soul and the
complicated wonders that lie within and offers powerful inights to
anyone who has ever struggled with, and loved, a troubled
animal
*John Grogan, author of MARLEY AND ME*
What distinguishes Katz's witty canine account from most others is
his absention from sentimentality ... The adventures described in A
Dog Year are the stuff of great fiction ... Part cautionary tale,
part love story, A Dog Year reminds us that adopting a pet is a
massive responsibility but one that rewards the owner with a rich,
more meaningful life
*Los Angeles Times*
Moving, funny ... a loveable mutt of a book
*Chicago Times*
