About
"Funny and poignant. A laugh on every page. The perfect gift for dog lovers like me."- Brian Whitney, author of "Bad Trips" and "How Now, Butterfly?"In the summer of 2024, Lucy the Dog grew very ill. Over the course of one week, she became uninterested in food, uninterested in playing, and then completely lethargic. Veterinarians told her owners that Lucy was anemic and on the verge of death. She needed an immediate blood transfusion.Later that day, they discovered she had a cancerous tumor in her digestive tract. This came as a shock because Lucy was only about five and a half years old. She underwent emergency surgery to save her life. The operation was a success, but the cancer is aggressive, and life-threatening. The doctors determined she had only a few months to live.In the time she had left, Lucy began to pose for many, many photographs. She also expressed interest in writing her memoirs. Over time, her writings took shape as 30 letters to her owners, with accompanying photos. In one sense, these are love letters. In another sense, these are unsubtle complaints about her living conditions, lists of demands, and over-the-top boasts about her positive personality traits and abilities.Letters From Lucy is the perfect book for dog lovers.ABOUT THE AUTHORLucy is a 6-year-old golden retriever / Australian shepherd mix.
