Sometimes, change comes on four legs.
In his popular
and widely praised Running to the Mountain, Jon Katz
wrote of the strength and support he found in the massive
forms of his two yellow Labrador retrievers, Julius and
Stanley. When the Labs were six and seven, a breeder who’d
read his book contacted Katz to say she had a dog that was
meant for him—a two-year-old border collie named Devon, well
bred but high-strung and homeless. Katz already had a full
canine complement—but, as he writes, “Change loves me. . . .
It comes in all forms. . . . Sometimes, change comes on four
legs.” Shortly thereafter he brought Devon home. A Dog
Year shows how a man discovered much about himself
through one dog (and then another), whose temperament seemed
as different from his own as day from night. It is a story
of trust and understanding, of life and death, of continuity
and change. It is by turns insightful, hilarious, and deeply
moving.
