A moving, funny inspirational tale, this is a dog-lover's treat. There is the moment of meeting—Gracie getting to her feet like a clumsy foal and nuzzling Dan's nose. The first day in a new house—Dan's roommate and business partner Mark calling the police thinking a burglar was trapped in the back room. Gracie's romance with her next door neighbor, a Boston Terrier named Byron. And the eureka moment—born of necessity (Gracie's anorexia-producing dislike for commercial dog food), Dan teaches himself to cook and within three days is baking her the cookies that will transform their lives. Though several more years would pass before The Wall Street Journal discovered Three Dog Bakery, Oprah ate one of their dog cookies on national television and Gracie and the gang appeared on Conan O'Brien, the germ of their success was right there—in this heartfelt relationship of a man and a dog.
