Book description
When Jon took on a troublesome two-year-old Border Collie in A Dog
Year, it turned his sedate life upside down and culminated in a
move from suburbia to a rural farm.
But the contrary Collie - incredibly loyal but incredibly misbehaved
- never settles down. Jon tries everything, obedience training,
changing his name from Devon to Orson, even acupuncture, and it all
helps a little, but not enough.
Together Jon and Orson chase sheep across high meadows, wade through
snow, bask by a roaring stove and struggle to keep faith in each
other. A story of great joy and heartbreak, in A Good Dog Jon
faces the most difficult decision any dog lover has to make ...
