Travels with Casey - Benoit Denizet-lewis

Descriere Travels with Casey - Benoit Denizet-lewis

A New York Times bestseller and People Book of the Week This hilarious, charming road trip through canine-loving America is essential reading for dog lovers and armchair travelers (Library Journal, starred review).I don't think my dog likes me very much, New York Times Magazine writer Benoit Denizet-Lewis confesses at the beginning of his cross-country journey with his nine-year-old Labrador-mix, Casey. Over the next four months, thirty-two states, and 13,000 miles in a rented motor home, Denizet-Lewis and his lovable, moody canine companion try--with humorous and touching results--to pay tribute to the most powerful interspecies bond there is, in the country with the highest rate of dog ownership in the world. On the way, Denizet-Lewis--a master at effortlessly weaving bits of research into his narrative (Los Angeles Times)--meets an irresistible cast of dogs and their dog-obsessed humans. Denizet-Lewis and Casey hang out with wolf-dogs in Appalachia, enter a dock-jumping competition in Florida, meet homeless teens and their dogs in Washington, sleep in a Beagle-shaped bed and breakfast in Idaho, and visit Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan in California. And then there are the really out there characters: pet psychics, dog-wielding hitchhikers, and two women who took their neighbor to court for allegedly failing to pick up her dog's poop. Denizet-Lewis's memoir is a lot like Casey...fun, sweet, and a little neurotic (Chicago Tribune)--a delightfully idiosyncratic blend of memoir and travelogue coupled with a sociological exploration of a dog-obsessed America. Travels With Casey is a thoroughly engaging and often hilarious investigation of the therapeutic nature of our relationships with dogs (Booklist).
