(They may not know our names, but they know Landon’s!) Have you experienced the same thing? What is it about dogs that brings this out in people? One of the things that has surprised me the most is the way that our neighborhood has suddenly opened up to us-we know so many more people, and they all know us. Sullivan: I’ve only been a dog owner for nine months. She frequently tells me, “A dog would never say that!” Or “No way-too human!” And Beatrice has consulted on all the dog dialogue.
In fact, Fiorello actually does a fair bit of copyediting. I would say, since I’ve written two books on my dog relationships, they help me quite a bit. Klam: I had four until last week, when we adopted out a foster. Sullivan: How many dogs do you have now? And how do they help or hurt your writing life? I love having my dog curled up under my desk while I’m working, but he always seems to want to go outside and play just as I’m reaching a critical moment in a scene. Klam: It’s the farthest I’ve gone physically. To date, is this the farthest you’ve gone? Sullivan: One of my favorite parts of Love at First Bark is when you’re searching for an injured stray puppy in New Orleans and ask yourself a series of questions about how far you’d go to save a dog, which culminates with your jumping under a train to get the puppy. Courtney Sullivan, best-selling author of Maine and Commencement.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.Ī conversation between Julie Klam, and J. A hilarious and moving testament to the powerful bond between people and dogs, this is a book for anyone whose life has been changed-for the better-by an animal. Along the way, she finds that helping dogs in their fight to survive puts our own problems in perspective, and shows that caring for others, be they canine or human, can sometimes be the best way to care for ourselves. With wit and warmth, Julie Klam chronicles her adventures in finding a home for the world’s sweetest pit bull, fostering a photogenic special-needs terrier, and diving under a train to save an injured stray in New Orleans. Now, with the same enchanting humor and poignancy that won the hearts of readers across the country, she returns with real-life stories about how in rescuing troubled dogs we can end up saving ourselves. In her bestselling memoir You Had Me at Woof, Julie Klam shared the secrets of happiness she learned as an occasionally frazzled but always devoted owner of Boston terriers.
Look out for Julie's new book, The Stars in Our Eyes.
