Dear Evan and All, Dean Koontz is my favorite Author. A lot of his books feature dogs, and my favorite, "The Taking," which may be a little too horrifying for some, has a hero named Virgil, a German Shepherd Dog, who just may be an angel. I am including the web site address for Dean Koontz for those who are interested.Of interest are the "Trixie Koontz" stories from which the proceeds go to Canine Companions For Independence. Happy Reading. Marcia _http://www.deankoontz.com_ (http://www.deankoontz.com) Handle every stressful situation like a dog.... Piss on it, and walk away. **************Get the Moviefone Toolbar.
