Do not be sad. It is like you let him loose again, and he is taken a longer break!
Dogs grow old, fortunately! Owners realize this when their dog becomes even more stubborn, now that it truly cannot hear anything, persistently demands a third meal because it forgot the first two, or embarks on a senile basket escape at three in the morning, happily rummaging through the house. This book does not leave you alone and reminds you at the same time how your old dogs were once young, all the beautiful, quirky, wonderful, annoying moments with them, and what you did to keep the stubborn ones on track.
Michael Frey Dodillet tells, in his usual humorous manner, how wonderful it is to have an old dog. Not a guidebook, but a comforter, just like what made his bestseller Herrchenjahre so successful. Sophie Strodtbeck has experienced all the senior escapades herself and can – with no less of a wink – "explain everything".
In this book, sheer cluelessness meets veterinary expertise, with many dog episodes in between – sentimental, crazy, melancholic, very, very funny, and sometimes, of course, sad.
