A Big Little Life

About this book

Dean Koontz, the bestselling suspense novelist, turns from thrillers to the true story of the dog who changed his life. When Trixie, a three-year-old golden retriever and former assistance-dog candidate, joins Dean and his wife Gerda, she quickly proves to be far more than a pet: joyful, affectionate, dignified, and endlessly comical. This warm memoir follows Trixie from the family's first months together through a decade of adventures, mishaps, and moments of quiet wonder. Along the way, the book explores training and obedience, the strange comedy of life with a clever dog, and the deep bond between people and the animals who share their homes. The author also reflects on how Trixie changed him as a person and as a writer. Funny, heartfelt, and often moving, A Big Little Life is a love letter to a remarkable companion and a thoughtful look at what dogs teach us about loyalty, faith, time, and loss. With chapters on everything from sleepless nights to surgery and from mischief to mortality, it will delight dog lovers, memoir readers, and fans of Dean Koontz who want to see a gentler side of his writing.
