Fur Kids: A Life with Dogs

In his latest book, Fur Kids: A Life with Dogs, columnist William Buchanan recounts the joy, challenge, and sorrow of the 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, only to grow 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 endeared him to Claire and William, as well as his responsive, snuggly, enthusiastic ways; Joey, companion to a geriatric Blazer, whose perky arrival at the Buchanan's helped ease the pain caused by Blazer's failing health, and; Brady, brought into the Buchanan house as a way to heal the grieving Joey, whose precious self brightened everyone's life and reminded Claire of her beloved Blazer. Fur Kids is a heartfelt chienmoir a story of a man, a woman, and their dogs.
