Non-Fiction Memoir
"A charming, hilarious look at a little-documented
world." -- People In dog years, Robert Rodi
is 350. Age, however, couldn't possibly have prepared him
for his experience with canine agility-the athletic cousin
to best-of-breed shows. Rodi, an epicure and urban
intellectual, picks up agility with aspirations for blue
ribbons. His dreams of glory quickly fade when faced with
the competition: hearty Midwestern handlers and their
ferociously fit pups, who annihilate scrawny, scruffy,
Dusty, Rodi's rescue dog and would-be champ, in the ring.
The duo is utterly lost in the agility circles, but as in
the best human/pet stories, they forge an everlasting bond
to carry them through. Combining the wit of Christopher
Guest's Best in Show and the charm of Marley &
Me, Dogged Pursuit is an uproarious account of a
neophyte's year in the dog show world that abounds in humor
and warmth.
