The Dog Summit - Paperback

by Paul Shavelson (Author)

This book is for anyone who has ever talked to a Dog.A picturesque New England town has a very unusual dog problem. The canines (and their human companions) are ridiculously snobby. When a cat, being pushed in a baby carriage, tries to join doggie playtime in the park, the peeps unravel stereotypical not-in-my-backyard prejudices.The fable is told through the enlightened mind of retired, but still devoted, military service dog Jung (Carl reincarnated). His awareness, consciousness, perspectives, humor, and personal conflicts illuminate incredible psychological observations of human behavior.Jung's wounded decorated Desert Storm veteran is hometown hero Captain McIntyre. While in rehab, Mac falls in love with his trauma nurse, another great guy. Not only do the town's people have issues with Mac coming out, so does the jealous Jung! Their codependent touch-and-go relationship unleashes into a throuple. However, the villagers are not asopen minded. The reader identifies (might even share) a gauntlet of fear and resolutions to dissolve preconceived notions of what love is.THE DOG SUMMIT curiously examines intolerance and snap judgments.
