Publisher's Synopsis
Eddie was a husky-shepherd mix hobo dog living on the streets when I met him. His introduction to "pet life" was full of common situations that for him, weren't common or even familiar. At all. This story chronicles his journey into our home that presented restrictions from the freedom of living on the streets. Would he like it? Would he stay? While there are certainly many wonderful books in the genre of memoir and pets, Eddie is unique in that weaves my own personal struggles as a woman in a troubled marriage with Eddie's own struggles to conform to a life in which his own personality must be tailored to fit in. Though caretaking and struggling relationships are both topics common to many women, few books address these topics in parallel with their dog. There are compelling similarities between my journey and Eddie's, as each chapter is sprinkled with ah-ha moments and life lessons.
