Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When we got married, we knew we wanted children someday, but we also knew that our family home would not be complete without a dog sprawled at our feet. We had grown up with dogs, and loved them immensely. #2 We had just bought a house in West Palm Beach, and we spent months refurbishing it. We brought home a large, four-legged roommate with sharp toenails, large teeth, and exceedingly limited English-language skills. #3 A breeder, or hobbyist, is someone who breeds dogs for love rather than money. They will usually have a distinct bloodline for each puppy, and will sell them for cheap. #4 When we brought home Clearance Dog, he turned out to be a very loveable puppy. But his strange, joyous gaze left me slightly creeped out.
