Overview

When a rescue dog named Duffy arrives in Heaven, neither limitless bowls of chow nor bottomless barrels of rawhide can take away the longing for his ""folks"" back home. Then he meets Rex, a literary easterner of the Boston Terrier persuasion, who encourages Duffy to write his life story. From a harrowing start in a hayloft, to a prolonged stay in a shelter, to his new life with an adoring childless couple, from puppyhood to neuterhood and beyond, Duffy relives his tale through the written word with the help of his new cultured friend. But how do two dogs-let alone two no longer even residing on earth-find a publisher?

""Read this book and you'll fall in love-with Duffy, with Rex, and with all the vital life lessons you never realized a dog could offer."" -Jeffrey Zaslow, coauthor, The Last Lecture ""It has been my privilege to know 'Duff' and his 'folks' as their veterinarian and friend. Through this unique dialogue, Gary has truly captured and conveyed the meaningful impact of the human-animal bond that is all encompassing. This tale will certainly touch the heart of dog lovers of all ages."" -Dr. Roger Mahr, Past President, American Veterinary Medical Association ""Loved the story of Duffy, an intrepid rescued terrier who survived a harrowing start in life to find a wonderful home. Duff's observations about his people and life with them are incisive and poignant, told with a wry sense of humor. The love and affection he had for his 'folks' shines through each page."" -Lisa LaVerdiere, Executive Director, Home for Life Animal Sanctuary
