An Australian shepherd tells the story of his puppyhood and life with his family—with a little help from his human companion . . .
Part memoir, part dog owner’s manual, this delightful book is narrated primarily from a dog’s point of view. As Duffy’s owner chimes in with her own perspective, readers will recognize their own joys and challenges that mark the territory of the human/canine relationship.
From eating anything and everything, to a profound fear of needles and bee stings, to being “released” from dog training school, Duffy’s never-ending zest for new experiences is the source of his owner’s greatest frustration—and most profound life lessons.
“Duffy’s story touched my heart.” —Julie Hanson, registered veterinary technician
