Produktbeschreibung

"Funny and poignant. A laugh on every page. The perfect gift for dog lovers like me."

- Brian Whitney, author of "Bad Trips" and "How Now, Butterfly?"

In the summer of 2024, Lucy the Dog grew very ill. Over the course of one week, she became uninterested in food, uninterested in playing, and then completely lethargic. Veterinarians told her owners that Lucy was anemic and on the verge of death. She needed an immediate blood transfusion.

Later that day, they discovered she had a cancerous tumor in her digestive tract. This came as a shock because Lucy was only about five and a half years old. She underwent emergency surgery to save her life. The operation was a success, but the cancer is aggressive, and life-threatening. The doctors determined she had only a few months to live.

In the time she had left, Lucy began to pose for many, many photographs. She also expressed interest in writing her memoirs. Over time, her writings took shape as 30 letters to her owners, with accompanying photos. In one sense, these are love letters. In another sense, these are lists of demands, unsubtle complaints about her dietary options, and over-the-top boasts about her positive personality traits and abilities.

Letters From Lucy is the perfect book for dog lovers.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Lucy was a Labrador retriever / Australian shepherd mix. She was an essayist and author. In her spare time, she posed for photographs and paintings, rode in cars, chased balls around, swam, ate and slept. She was a friend to everyone and a very good dog.

In the summer of 2024, she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer common to retrievers. She underwent lifesaving surgery. For seven months, Lucy was alive and well, enjoying her favorite activities. In April 2025, the cancer returned and Lucy died, surrounded by the people who loved her most.

"Lucy's story is both heartwarming and inspiring. This charming retelling of the experiences of Lucy and her humans, following her alarming diagnosis, is sure to resonate with dog lovers everywhere. Often funny, always moving."

- Brian Dunleavy, author of "The Covid Home Companion," and "Crunch Time."
