Description
Part travelogue, part valentine to a beloved pet, Ella in Europe chronicles writer Michael Konik s magical six-week journey through Europe with his dog, Ella. An homage to the friend who has licked away my tears when I m sad, hopped on her hind legs when I m happy, and snuggled me when I m lonely, here is the story of a bond unlike any other and an extraordinary dog who stole her way into one man s heart.
Los Angeles writer Michael Konik had always shared his life with dogs. But Ella, a gentle Lab mix, was something special. From the moment Konik laid eyes on Ella, he knew: This dog was meant to be his. An enchantress who charmed all who met her, Ella Guinevere Konik had a truly unique gift and soon Konik found a way for Ella to share that gift, signing her up for a program that brings dogs into hospitals, nursing homes, and children s shelters.
When Ella turned ten, Konik wanted to thank the best friend whose unconditional love had transformed his life and given comfort and joy to others in need. So a trip to Europe was planned and for Konik and Ella a once-in-a-lifetime adventure began, one that would strengthen the already-powerful bond between them. As they explore Europe s most beautiful and surprisingly dog-friendly cities, Konik is amazed at the experiences he and Ella can share . . . Arriving in Vienna on July Fourth with Ella wrapped in her American flag scarf . . . Dining at four-star restaurants in Paris . . . Ella swimming in the Danube . . . Taking a gondola ride in Venice . . . Sunbathing in St. Tropez . . . Searching for a canine toilet in Monte Carlo. But soon this journey of friendship, love, and discovery must come to a close. And as Konik heads home, accompanied by the canine friend who helped teach me what love means, one thing is certain: Both dog and owner have been changed forever.
At once a testament to the power of unconditional love and a celebration of devotion, Ella in Europe is
a book for anyone who has ever felt a special connection to a dog they ve loved.
From the Hardcover edition.
