Sample Book Insights: #1 I took my dog to the vet, who found that he had a violent cough. The vet decided to do an X-ray to see if something was stuck in his windpipe. The nurse gave him a shot to knock him out, because he was not a good boy and did not want to behave. #2 I had always wanted to believe in something like dogs bringing out the best in us, but I couldn’t picture it with an old, slow, easy dog close by. It would make me ashamed of myself. #3 I was surprised to see my brother, Speck, outside the cabin. He was bouncing in place, waiting for me to catch up. I followed him around a sharp dogleg that hid the cabin from the road. The car, an old import, had backed into the driveway, its engine idling. I heard people laughing inside the car. #4 I dragged the dog up the drive, across the yard, and up the steps. I lost a shoe, and could not get it back. I was wheezing, croaking, by the time I made it to the door. The dog still wanted to fight somebody, and ran crazily around the cabin.
