ONE GOOD DOG tells the story of Adam March and the dog who
helps him regain his humanity. Adam is by any measure a
success--high level job, a beautiful wife, expensive cars,
exclusive home, spoiled daughter. But Adam has a secret.
Far from being of the privileged class that he now moves
in, Adam comes from a boyhood spent in foster care; a
father who has given him up, and runaway sister. He has
scars that he bears to no one.
When a mistake by his administrative assistant threatens
to expose his past, in trying to save his present, Adam
loses everything.
Divorced, jobless, and doing community service in a
homeless shelter, Adam acquires a street dog, a pit bull
mix who has a difficult background of his own.
This pair learn about trust--and the true meaning of what
it means to be human.
Given today's blog relates to dogs, I have to comment, dog lover that I am. I have 2 mutts, one of whom has some pit in him. I love the idea of your having a dog as a main character and writing about the relationship between human & dog. I don't say owner & dog, because well my oldest dog has me trained FAR better than I have her trained. She has a definite personality and I can usually tell what she is thinking before she acts on it. My one year old (the part pit) is my good child...if a little overly energetic. But given his likely gene pool I am more alert to when he gets the least bit aggressive and I am working/training to keep in check as he showed no aggression until he picked it up from my older dog who is only 35 lbs, but all bad ass & territorial.

I was the costume advisor for Sylvia,a community play with a dog as one of the main characters. It was all in good fun what with going to the park and the barking and heading over to the boy dog named Bowser who was merely implied and not seen. Oh, by the way, it was a person on all fours, as the dog. I enjoy learning from another's point of view, including cat and dog buddies. (Alyson Widen 12:37pm March 8, 2010)
That's quite a challenge. Love to read it. (Mary Preston 6:50pm March 8, 2010)
I have a dog that I feel more like her Mom in our relationship. It was just like building a relationship with my husband but in a different way. I just can't imagine losing her. It would be almost like losing one of my kids. Sounds like a great book. (Vicki Hancock 9:59pm March 8, 2010)
