Overview

Some lives leave ripples that never fade. For us, those ripples began the day Buster came into our world: a golden-hearted Labrador who stared deep into our souls. What started as companionship quickly became something deeper. Through him, we learned that love has endless forms: steady loyalty, playful joy, gentle forgiveness, and a kind of quiet wisdom that can only come from a soul who lives entirely in the moment. We never set out to learn life's great lessons from a dog. In fact, one us was quite allergic, we loved to travel, and it was challenging enough to keep the plants alive, let alone care for and love an animal. But as the seasons turned around the lake, as Buster ran the frozen shoreline to visit his favorite people. Uncle Gerald at the outlet, his sweetheart Babbs, Clayton and Darlene and all the others it became clear that he was our teacher in fur. Each wag of his tail carried meaning: that kindness outlasts pain, that joy can be found in muddy paws and messy moments, and that even when your body is tired, the heart still knows how to love. When we hike far from home, through the rain forest valleys, crawler's ledge and red muddy cliffs of Kauai's Kalalau Trail or up Mount Zeus on Naxos or across the Amalfi Coast's Path of the Gods, and through the Samaria Gorge of Crete, we feel him with us. His spirit was in every trail we walked, in every sunrise that reminded us what it means to keep going. Buster had shown us how to live adventurously but return faithfully. How to love fiercely, rest freely, and forgive quickly. He made us better without ever trying to. He taught us that purpose is found in presence, and that gratitude is the quiet language of love. His lessons became the rhythm of our days, the way we greet the morning, the way we care for each other, the way we find joy in the ordinary. This book isn't just about a dog. It's about the love that fills the space between people when they've been lucky enough to be loved by one. It's about Buster. And all the ways he taught us to live.
