DESCRIPTION:
He took George with him, and the pair began a new life together on the sunny beaches around L.A. No second chances. She was gone and wasn't coming back. After Colin Campbell went on a short business trip abroad, he returned home to discover his wife of many years had moved out. Colin was offered a great new job in Los Angeles, California. George became a fixture in his Hermosa Beach neighborhood, warming hearts both young and old. Colin adopted the traumatized dog, brought him home, and named him George. Then everything changed. Meanwhile, Colin headed to the beach to rekindle his love for surfing, but when George encountered the ocean and a surfboard for the first time, he did a surprising thing - he jumped right on the board.

No sad endings here - just a touching and very funny dog story This is just a lovely book. The author comes across as a kind, easy-going, tolerant, and observant soul and he writes very smoothly and gracefully, shaping a memoir that flows at a good pace and never drags anywhere.

This is George. We had a chance meeting about a month ago. George and his doggy-daddy, Colin Campbell, were at a book signing at Barnes & Noble in Cary, NC. I wasn't suppose to be at B&N that day, I was actually there killing time waiting to pick up DH from a delayed flight. Listening to Colin seemed like a good way to kill an hour. As I listened to Colin speak and watched George romp around the bookstore, I knew I had to buy the book, but I also had a feeling. Great Read Joan Riedel I was looking for my next great read and I found it right here with George and Colin. This is an easy read type of book that draws you in and makes the book difficult to put down. I could relate to Colin's story and also to George helping Colin find his way to living joy again. Furry friends are truly an amazing gift to all of us if we really take the time to listen to them. :-) I look forward to seeing what happens along their path. Truly a nice read and yes,
