Summary

In his latest book, Fur Kids: A Life with Dogs columnist William Buchanan recounts the joy, challenge, and sorrow of living with five furry souls that owned him and his wife through the years. Here we meet: · Red, whose life began as a worm-and-flea-infested puppy and who grew into a gentleman dog who is missed to this day · Max, an alpha male whose Dennis-the-Menace-type antics earned him three obedience classes and plenty of outdoor action on canoes, hiking trails, and-eventually-an untimely death · Blazer, a sweet little cousin of Max, whose love of the hiking trail and responsive, snuggly, enthusiastic ways endeared him to Buchanan and his wife, Claire · Joey, companion to a geriatric Blazer, whose perky arrival at the Buchanans' helped ease the pain caused by Blazer's failing health · Brady, whose precious self brightened everyone's life when he was brought into the Buchanan house as a way to heal the grieving Joey-and reminded Claire of her beloved Blazer Fur Kids is a heartfelt chienmoir-a story of a man, a woman, and their dogs.
