Description:

It's a love story. A story of salvation. And a rags-to-riches story about a dog—yes a dog—who launched Three Dog Bakery, the burgeoning international retail chain with 32 stores and counting. There is Dan, trapped in a dead-end job and grieving the loss of his pet of eighteen years. And there is Gracie, a deaf and practically blind albino Great Dane with a delicate constitution and penchant for small miracles. In the middle of a bitter Kansas City winter, Dan would save the loneliest pup in the litter, Gracie. And over the next ten years, Gracie would save Dan—helping him learn the meaning of happiness.



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.
