“In this big world, she was a little thing, but in all the ways that mattered, including the effect she had on those who loved her, she lived a big life.”
- Dean Koontz talking about Trixie in “A Big Little Life”
A coupla weeks ago I mentioned “A Big Little Life”, the upcoming Dean Koontz book about life with retired Canine Companions for Independence service dog Trixie (“If You Only Read One Book This Year, Read This One”).
Over the weekend, I found this new two-minute Hyperion Books video where he reads from the book as some great pictures of Trixie flash by. If you can get through it without tearing up…well, you’re a lot tougher than me.
If you can’t wait (like I couldn’t), there are advanced reading copies available – do a search. As the video says, the book will be released two weeks from tomorrow on Aug 25th.
I’ll go on record now and say I think this book is gonna be HUGE – certainly the dog book of the year, and will transcend that to quickly be number one on the bestseller lists. Only question will be how quickly it happens.
