Good Dog: True Stories of Love, Loss, and Loyalty

When Garden & Gun magazine debuted a column aptly named 'Good Dog,' it quickly became one of the publication's most popular features in print. Now, Editor in Chief David DiBenedetto (proud owner of a Boykin spaniel) and the editors of G&G have gathered the most memorable stories, as well as original pieces, in this collection of essays written by some of the most notable dog owners in literature and journalism.


Good Dog offers memorable, beautifully written stories of dog ownership, companionship, friendship, and kinship. From the troublemakers who can't be fenced in to the lifelong companions who won't leave our sides, this poignant anthology showcases man's best friend through all of his most endearing—and sometimes maddening—attributes. By turns inspirational and humorous (just like the dogs we love), Good Dog is a must-have collection for dog lovers everywhere.
