Book submitted for the dog lovers out there.
Amazing Gracie A Dog's Tale
By Dan Dye, Mark Beckloff, and Richard Simon
needs a spell check. all pages acounted for and read through.
From the Book Jacket:
It was love at first sight. A mid the frenzied barking and prancing of a
house full of Great Danes, one pup was shivering in the corner. Gracie. But
when Dan Dye reached her, she struggled to her feet like a clumsy foal,
raised her forehead to his, and announced, as clearly as if she had actually
spoken the words, You know I'm the one. Now get me outta here!
By turns funny, moving, tender, and inspiring, Gracie's tale is a treat for
every dog lover. There is Gracie's first morning, racing around Dan in the
snowy
yard. Gracie's determination to prove to her sisters.---Dottie the Dalmatian
and Sarah the Black Lab,
that she's "one of the girls." Gracie's defiant romance with a pint-size
charmer named Byron, a Boston Terrier from the wrong side of the fence.
Then born of necessity, the eureka moment: When Gracie's delicate
constitution starts turning into anorexia, Dan teaches himself how to cook,
and in three days is baking her the cookies that will spur her appetite,
launch Three Dog Bakery, and transform their lives forever.
Courage. Compassion. Kindness. Soul. Tenacity. And joy-above all, joy. These
qualities Gracie possessed in abundance, and shared with everyone, human or
canine, who had the good fortune to cross her path.
DAN DYE (right) and MARK BECKLOFF are the co-founders of Three Dog
Bakery-the world's first bakery for dogs- They're shown here with Gracie
