Review & Description
From Gabriel to King to Rocky.....from Maggie to Max, these short stories bring to life the trials and tribulations of five dogs and the people who loved them. In a world where such outcomes are few and far between, all are tales of devotion and salvation.
[NOTE TO READERS: If you've already purchased A Three-Dog Night and/or Two For The Road, don't buy this book as I've merged those stories into Five Easy Pieces.]
EXCERPT (from Priorities):
While King waited by the door, Marcy quickly changed in a public restroom, leaving the clothes she'd worn for seven days like a tired uniform piled neatly on the dirty toilet.
One block south, with the scent of salt water hanging heavy in the heat, Marcy sold her engagement ring to the highest - and only - bidder. Two-hundred bucks plus an extra fifty in what she knew must've been pity for the blind girl.
And as the clock struck a hot and high noon, she trudged towards the coolness of the casino with her devoted dog and her pathetic plan.
"God help us, King, if this doesn't work," Marcy murmured to her silent partner.
