This story is about Trixie, a Canine Companion for Independence dog, adopted by best-selling author Dean Koontz and his wife Gurda when the dog was three years old. While Dean Koontz's books are notoriously suspenseful and frightening, This one is warm and written with great humor and love for the "magical" dog.

Mr. Koontz's philosphy of life and death in wound into this book and through the story of Trixie and how she impacted his way of looking at the world and his writing.

I wound recommend this book to any animal loving person.
