“When in doubt, walk your dog!”

That’s one of the first lessons from my new book, “Dog Lessons: Learning the Important Stuff from Our Best Friends.”

“Dog Lessons” is about the powerful presence of dogs in our lives and the transformative lessons they can teach us about love, loyalty, zoomies, grief, and more.

A special shout-out to our current dogs, Maisie, a Terrier-Chihuahua mix, and Toby, a Great Pyrenees, for patiently waiting for me to walk with them while I wrote this book. They always had plenty of lessons for me daily. Maisie, although small, has the heart of a larger dog (that often gets her in trouble) and is our lead dog. Toby, at eighty pounds, is the muscle. He howls at coyotes, Fire Department Sirens (he would’ve been a great Fire Department dog), and the theme music from Modern Family.

They are the best!
