Product Description
In these essays, you’ll meet Culvert, Christmas, Bugle and Shiner, all lost or abandoned dogs, some doomed, some joyously adopted. You’ll meet Thousand Kisses, the world’s orneriest Doberman; Babe, the bottle-fed filly who thinks people are her family; Caliban, the world’s meanest cat; and dozens of other companion animals whose stories will make you laugh, rage and cry.

Lora K. Reiter, winner of Seaton Awards in prose and poetry and finalist in the 2007 New Letters Alexander Cappon competition, has given these “characters” the same careful and compassionate treatment as the humans in her fiction. Always honest, often with humor, sometimes with anger, Reiter speaks with understanding, respect, and love both of the animals who’ve been her friends and of those she has unsuccessfully tried to rescue.

This is a book animal lovers have got to love!
