A Good Dog The Story of Orson, Who Changed My Life 8220People who love dogs often talk about a 8216lifetime8217 dog. I8217d heard the phrase a dozen times before I came to recognize its significance. Lifetime dogs are dogs we love in especially powerful, sometimes inexplicable ways.82218211Jon Katz In this gripping and deeply touching book, bestselling author Jon Katz tells the story of his lifetime dog, Orson a beautiful border collie8211intense, smart, crazy, and unforgettable. From the moment Katz and Orson meet, when the dog springs from his traveling crate at Newark airport and panics the baggage claim area, their relationship is deep, stormy, and loving. At two years old, Katz8217s new companion is a great herder of school buses, a scholar of refrigerators, but a dud at herding sheep. Everything Katz attempts8211 obedience training, herding instruction, a new name, acupuncture, herb and alternative therapies8211helps a little but not enough, and not for long. 8220Like all border collies and many dogs,8221 Katz writes, 8220he needed work. I didn8217t realize for some time I was the work Orson would find.8221 While Katz is trying to help his dog, Orson is helping him, shepherding him toward a new life on a two-hundred-year-old hillside farm in upstate New York. There, aided by good neighbors and a tolerant wife, hip-deep in sheep, chickens, donkeys, and more dogs, the man and his canine companion explore meadows, woods, and even stars, wade through snow, bask by a roaring wood stove, and struggle to keep faith with each other. There, with deep love, each embraces his unfolding destiny. A Good Dogis a book to savor. Just as Orson was the author8217s lifetime dog, his story is a lifetime treasure8211poignant, timeless, and powerful. From the Hardcover edition.
