From the back cover: "Relatively indifferent to the natural world and happily independent, writer Louise Bernikow knew nothing about caring for pets. But one day while running along Manhattan's Hudson River, she came across an abandoned boxer and did what her mother always warned her against: she brought the strange male home. In this offbeat and comical story of their first year together he introduces her to the world of dog runs and to a local dive where the bartender pulls pints from the tap and dog biscuits from the drawer. She introduces him to the eccentric neighbors and to life as a media hound. When they meet a handsome man and his equally handsome dachsund, life takes an unexpected turn for both of them. A remarkable tale about companionship, wonderfully written and captivating to the last."
