The mysteries of the animal kingdom come to life in this tall tale of two delightfully energetic dogs. On the one hand, we have a fun-loving yellow Labrador Retriever, named Wallace. On the other, we have a tough-as-nails Belgium Malinois, named Fang. These two have very little in common except that their human parents, Hitch and Debbie, seem to be falling in love. If the blended family dynamic wasn’t challenging enough, why not add a few squirrels, some goats, a moose (and squirrel), a pair of racoons, and a pirate (how did he get in there?). You can’t blame a dog for wanting to relieve some of that hard-earned stress in a deep pool of muscle relaxing, mind refreshing mud. Just don’t bring it in the house! Author’s bio ... hmm ... let’s see if I got this right. He began life in Wheaton, Maryland (the second of four Perry kids) - check. He was "born-again" in a small traditional church in Bowie, Maryland - check. He helped raise two reasonably normal boys in Charles Town, West Virginia - check. He would finish his grueling working career in Parachute, Colorado (loathed the job, loved the skiing) - check. Today, he is a certified personal trainer, an amateur natural bodybuilding champion (classic physique 50+), and is now writing these short novels from Rock Hill, South Carolina - check. He is astonishingly content - check. He would not be this content without good friends that keep him based - check. That should do it.
