The Best Dog in the World
COMING MARCH 2026
If you love dogs, you will love this book. It will break your heart and mend it again. This is true love.
“A collection of essays, brimming with love and sorrow, on our best friends. The conclusion to these varied pieces, in as many words, is fitting: We are lucky to have the time we do with our dogs, and we wouldn’t trade a moment of it. A moving tribute to the dogs in our lives, and the good fortune of their companionship.”
