Publisher Description
In a profound, funny, and beautifully rendered portrait of a beloved companion, best-selling novelist Dean Koontz remembers the golden retriever who changed his life.
A retired service dog, Trixie was three when Dean and his wife, Gerda, welcomed her into their home. She was superbly trained, but her greatest gifts couldn’t be taught: her keen intelligence, her innate joy, and an uncanny knack for living in the moment. Whether chasing a tennis ball or protecting those she loved, Trixie gave all she had to everything she did, inspiring Dean and Gerda to trust their instincts and recapture a sense of wonder that will remain with them always. Trixie lived fewer than 12 years; in this wide world, she was a little thing. But in every way that mattered, she lived a big life.
Customer Reviews
A must read for any dog lover!! AAA+++
This book is a bit of a departure for Koontz, although there still is a touch of mystery in it. It's about the amazing relationship between the Koontz' and their dog, Trixie. You'll feel as though you're actually there and sharing in each moment of Trixie's wonderful life and her sad death. I listen to this book at least once a year, and each time I discover something new to warm my heart. You won't regret the $12, I promise.
